When you've gone through unstable tides,
You'll lower your nose from the skies And the self-righteousness would turn to shame...-
I am grateful for the rain,
It started and I found no shelter
It sliced my skin open with its spear drops
It beat me to a pound
It disfigured me till people shunned me
Even so I am grateful for the rain
It washed me clean again
It cleared my skies and welcomed the sun
It revealed the rainbow in my sky
I am grateful for the rain
It will fall again
It will do me dirty
And it will bless me.

I met a woman looking for death
Just to ask God
"Why was I born black and Nigerian?"
I rushed along
As a voice said " maybe if she lived she'll know".
-
I fear I will take that leap of faith and fall into an abyss of nothing
Just like I do in my dreams...-
For the heartbroken.
May you find someone who understands the mutuality of love,
Who dives into your deep and splashes in your shallow.
May you find peace...-
If I ask "How are you?"
By God be honest
I have a store of kind words to ease your happy or sad soul.

I tell myself often, one way to thoroughly enjoy life is to make a feast out of little, out of anything.
