One Step At A Time

With turmoil soaked in our skin Hope seems like a billion years away Like a distant sky, hope is a mirage in our eyes But let us put on the garment of hope Hold not onto the shackles of fear This turmoil that drenches our hearts Will one day melt away And on its place, a new day will emerge This is the day of celebration Like never before, we will celebrate life With victory in our hands, we will ululate We will know the cost of every moment of our existence We will count our blessings We will know the essence of our being And we will find ourselves totally free Free from the savage hands of bondage The fibre of our being will find rest Not in the comfort of our material possessions But in the knowledge of our true selves Our stories of hope will be treasures in our chest Like never before, we will cherish our relationships We will embrace our true nature and be true to ourselves We will have the scars But our hearts will hold the key To the most sacred house of being The Truth is the most beautiful part of us The lesson for today is that life is precious Regardless of the turmoil, life is beautiful and sacred Let us rise above our thoughts and emotions And learn to see beyond our constructed reality Let us sit on the pedestal of hope for a while This is the therapy that we need This is medicine to our souls The cleansing of our being is not a one day job We have to be patient and take it one step at a time It will be over soon ©Kenneth Maswabi
