Be yourself


Be well founded,

You won't be confounded.

Find your self,

If you can be found.

 

Life should be lived

With virility and vitality

Truth should be believed

With sincerity and impartility

 

The Lost are cold as frost

Death is what teaches most

That is why all our sages are no more

But they left messages with more

Information do not ignore

Teachings of long ago

Filled with symbols

Clinging cymbals

Watchfuly listen...

 

Be well rooted

You won't be uprooted.

Be bald and firm

You will affirm and confirm

That you think you are.

 

Some are fire

They inspire

Those who aspire

Some are wind

They kindle

The dwindling flame

That sets ablaze

The forests

Some are water

Quenching

Diluting

Cleansing 

Immensing

Some are Earth

Nourishing

Flouroshing

Stregnthening

Legnthening

Empowering.

 

Y ou can't be everything

B ut you can be anything

Ever since I learnt how to write I never stopped writing short stories, poems and ideas. I am from Africa living in South Africa, Joburg. I am a business man with a love for music and writing. Its lovely how a poem can be turned into a song. Rhythm and Words are my closest friends. I respect The Sound of Life and the power in following your Heart which makes Music till the day you die.
