NOT ALONE NOT ABANDONED.

I’m sitting on the rocks

Looking at the green lands afar off

It looks so refreshing

So serene and peaceful

Like nothing ever disturbs it

  

It makes me so sad

So troubled

Why should it be that wonderful

While I sit on the rocks

Soaking garri alone

While they eat all of the goodies of life

This thin air I breathe

Must be from Mars

Because no one knows how I feel

I can’t even begin to unfold

The depth of what is in my heart

It not only hurts to be vulnerable

It would be painful

To be misguided

Misinformed

Maligned

And shred to pieces

Like the cabbage in my salad

Hold on!

I see the King fisher coming

I think it’s suspicious

With its large head

Long and sharp pointed beak

And short stubby legs

It preys on anything

But its large head doesn’t mean it’s dunce

Just that it can keep thinking of you

It’s long and sharp pointed beak

Will fend for me

And fight for me

Its short and stubby legs

Is for me to know

It won’t run off

It will patiently wait for me

Every step of the way

Yes it’s shy

Because it wants me to take the first step

To invite her

And bring her close

So she can make me

As coloured

And as bright and beautiful

As she is

So she can bring her family

And turn my rocks into a home

I’ll be super delighted

If she does that
