of society, she won't last.
But no matter what, she isn't alone
for at nyumbani she has a friend of her own.
He's a special one, no doubt about it
who loves her, her every bit.
To the point of, following her
like a shadow, bound forever.
Together, they live in the lost
away from reality, a world she has tossed.
Playing, sleeping, a wondering shadow
Innocence, deceit, away from the know.
She's trapped in silence, kwa her friend
waiting for a savior, before the end.
With no strength, she has chosen to retreat
Dwelling, lingering, in her choice of defeat.
Don’t run.
Don’t give up when it gets hard.
Don’t lower your chin.
Don’t think you’re not strong enough.
I believe wewe won’t run.
I believe wewe won’t give up when it gets hard.
I believe wewe won’t lower your chin.
I believe you’re strong enough.
I know wewe won’t run
I know wewe won’t give up when it gets hard.
I know wewe won’t lower your chin.
I know you’re strong enough.
(As I read this over it kind of seems like a mother talking to her son/daughter as they grow from 'don't do this' to 'I belive in you' to 'I know wewe can do this'.)

So far from home
Forever silenced
And sentenced to roam
The shackles are locked
And the collar, alama is tight
But nobody hears me
I'm too weak to fight
The stars that once twinkled
Are now dark in the night
And the moon that once shone
No longer gives light
On each sparse tree
No leaf is stirred
And the owls that once played
Can no longer be heard
Far in the distance I can see
A glimpse of weak light
That teases me
I watch it grow then fade away
Like a slippery fish
That just can't stay
And as I try to struggle free
The chains resist
And strangle me
As I fall back I clearly see
That a single bird
Flies over me
It stops to perch
Upon a stone
And opens its beak
In a sorrowful moan
A sweet sparrow
With no where to go
It Lost its path
And became a crow.

to be, I assume.
wewe and I,
two different beings,
and yet, so connected.
Your thoughts,
so confusing for others,
but for me,
so known.
I can feel your words,
the emptiness that
sleeps inside you,
I can feel.
The silence in your
voice,
I can hear.
wewe and I,
as if we are from
the different worlds,
and yet,
we understand each other.
At one point, we do.
That mystery
in your eyes,
magic in your words
I can touch,
though wewe let me not.
wewe won't let it,
that tear in my eyes
must me held,
wewe won't let me
feel the sadness.
I hold my tears
for you,
I want to be peaceful,
I want wewe to be
touched kwa the breeze
I'm sending,
so wewe could feel me,
so wewe could feel me.
wewe and I,
so different,
and yet, connected
kwa the thoughts
that are known to ourselves.
A time of darkness & death
Nature will blow it's frigid breath
As the Mighty Oak trees shed their last leaves
While the wanyama burrow beneath
As the Earth Weeps
High in the endless black sky
The cold full moon shines
It's phantom rays
Through the forest of skeletons
Brittle arms shiver to the sound
of the Wolf's howl
The Guardian
A horned shadow in the trees
Gives it's watchful stare
Her wings with a silent scream as a
Doomed panya, kipanya meets it's fate
Beams of light shoot through the valley
Giving rare warmth in it's touch
The Golden ball of life has arrived
But Death holds it's icy grip
For it is his time of Rule
true Marafiki are hard to come by...
yet when wewe catch them wewe feel like wewe can fly...
wewe trust them,
upendo them,
and talk of future...
wewe know that they will never lie...
and inayofuata to them wewe stand side kwa side...
wewe upendo them,
hug them,
and share smiles with eachother...
oh how it feels when wewe know your important...
that wewe know wewe have some one to comfort you...
wewe hold their hand,
skip down the street,
and feel no defeat...
true Marafiki are hard to come by...
but hold them tight so away they dont fly.

One night I dreamed I was wlking along the beach, pwani with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there where two sets of footprints, other times there were only one set of footprints. This was bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow au defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I alisema to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, wewe would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life ther had only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed wewe most, wewe have not been there for me?" The Lord replied, "The times when wewe have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you.
