Bereft

Here and sorrowful
Gazelles spring pasture of spring
Still here tears has filled the lake
Believers have come for baptism

Stud deep sunk in bosom
Steps to emancipation are crucial
Stories untold grew now Americans say double storeys
She wishes tumble but,
The rubble is difficult to dispose

Somethings are not one hit wonders
Once it strikes, lightening always has a way coming back
Once hurt, no matter distance, despite time,feelings partake
Not at all present, but notions return to rack
S.O.O.N

She was there, she witnessed her mother's grave and she believes time to let go.
A gob in between the neck
To swallow or vomit before it haunts life forever
Absurd to live like nothing happen
But again must let the wind wipe up trouble

What goes is a rainstorm,
The heart keep everything to ransom,
Giving back whenever it is time
You cannot be happy forever
High flying birds land somewhere, Africans say
There is time for everything life has assured that.
The midst of all words said, not everyone of it givesaway smiles
Our joy is limited
The rest a man bears is pain and it is here to stay till a thing eternity
