WET

images

Here I am

Sand close to the sea

Always wet like a condemned prisoner

Even when the weather is warm

As other sands turn dust

Dancing in the corridors of the breezes,

I stay where I am

Bounded by seawater

I know I’ll eventually be washed ashore

And get lost in the same sea of my bondage

But that is my fate

A fate so gross

A fate which clouds and rains in my heart

A fate I’ll forever abhor

I only pray for a good reincarnation

So I can travel places by the aid of the air or wind

So I can cause a stir, throw tantrums and dance too

And when I finally settle then, I’ll know I did it all

For now, this sad fate, I hold,

I embrace in grace

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)

I believe in reincarnation too and thus i do not fear death.

I am kinda having a hard time accepting my present life with grace and perhaps i should heed your message.

nice work!

No matter what, we’re passing phantoms, most of whom would die and die with dead memories of their beloveds, You and I must be grateful for the gift of writing and embrace life as it is. “Water stinks when it keeps long in a bottle” this is a proverb transliterated from my local language. Stay strong Steph and stay you.
