You
know I did
not, could not
have forgotten to write
the day before today.
You
know that too well, I
know.
Life – corn and fish
and, and well, and
You – happened.
Picture mine: A heart-tied stick I chanced on, while on a trip to selected locations in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The specific location here is a footpath to one newly discovered waterfall – Akaa Falls – which is still being developed as a tourist site. –– Thursday, 14th June, 2018.
Yes, Life happened again
with the character that salt is
with the personality that is pepper’s
with the quiet confidence of sun
with the simple immensity of water
and
with You
with You
with You
with You
with You…
