VISITI dream in the intimate semi-darkness of an afternoon. I am visited by the fatigues of the day, The deceased of the year, the souvenirs of the decade, Like the procession of the dead in the village on the horizon of the shallow sea.It is the same sun bedewed with illusions, The same sky unnerved by hidden presences, The same sky feared by those who have a reckoning with the dead.And suddenly my dead draw near to me.....-Leopold Sedar SenghorHappy Birthday Hellen..May your special day be filled with joy, peace, happiness and the excitement of your youth...many happy returns as you go through life's journey...my only regret is that I can not be there to celebrate with you....love and hugs-Michael
Edit...from Ghanaby Michael Jonathan Poston on Friday, July 2, 2010 at 10:16amThe SearchThe past is but the cinders of the present; the future, the smoke, that escape, Into the cloud-bound sky.Be gentle, be kind my beloved; For words become memories, and memories tools, in the hands of jesters.When wise men become silent, It is because they have read, the palms of ChristIn the face of the Buddha.So look not for wisdom and guidance, In their speech, my beloved.Let the same fire, which chastened their tongues into silence,Teach us-teach us!The rain came down, When you and I slept awayThe nights burden of our passions;Their new-found wisdom In quick lightning flashesRevealed the truth that they had been the slaves of fools.-Kwesi Brew
The ChangeYour infancy now a wall of memoryIn harmattan the locust filled the skyDestroying the sweat put into the fieldand restless seas shattered canoesThe fisher-folk put to sail by noon.The impatience in your teensYet silent were your dreamsWith eyes like the soaring eagleShattering the glass of ignorance.Your infancy now a wall of memoryBefore this you, like the worms,Leaning on for vain indecorous dreamsAnd the cobras with venomous tonguesLicking the tepid blooms of hibiscus.--Ellis Ayitey KomeyI found this in an old book of poems from Africa. Are you familiar with this author?.....Love and hugs-MJ
