Running from the source
Of everything fresh and full of light
Loosing the way at every turn
Too proud to take a few steps back
Yet too afraid to take a step forward
Bleeding with cravings of peace
And waterfalls of abundance
Flying with doves
Yet untouched by their divinity
Their compassion
Wallowing in the choice
Of dark curtains of doubt
And non-directions
Doors open then close again
Ramming and flattening my nose
To the ground again
Like a one-day old calf
Yet to understand the ways of the world
I crave for the cup
I long to drink from the source
But i cannot ask
Lest i break the cup
From shattering voices and
Uncool words

I wish i cld write a poem.
I only wish but i can’t,
I tried to write a poem but i failed.
I only manage to make a scene.
I always wish one day will write a poem.
I wish u inspired me to write one.
I wish only when wishes were donkey.
only then i could write a poems, as ridding on a horse is expensive even for a muombagi ( begger ) like me in a poem writting.
ciao

Hey, could I come to the next Kwani Festival?
I like this poem by the way, reminds me of how am always running away from the truth, be it God or something I do not want to face.
