The Fire Seeker

Out on the plains in the middle of the night

No one around me not one star in sight

I sit huddled in the dark thinking about life

And the many wonders my soul has in store for me, my future looks so bright

Taking care of the family and the community are my responsibilities it’s true

A task so hard to do

I tried to pass along the duties to my brother Okechu

He was too tired, lazy and plain

This is my destiny; the stars show the signs of my eternal game

A Message From Mother Earth

Look around you and all will be able to see
The elements of who I pretend to be
The winds, the clouds, the current that turns the sea
Are just aspects, mere examples of the true me

A world of forms cast onto me
From these forms I plant the seeds to create the true reality
Flesh, blood and bones our eyes can see
When we look at one another, trying to find the real me

The Imperfection Of My Perfection

Hold up a mirror to your face and tell me what you see

Is the image reflected of who you want to be?

Round and round life whirls for all to see

And still I do not see who I want to be
