Have you ever fallen in love for an instant?
For just a moment,
all you want is that person.
For an instant,
everything is frozen.
Then all in the same moment
it all changes back
and life hits you hard
and that person never crosses your mind again
but in the back of your mind
you will always remember that love you had
just for that short second.
There is a point we reach in life
where we lose more than we gain
be it people, money, teeth or hair
We need to treasure what remains

If it's hair that we have lost
And our scalp is now exposed
we need to deal with what is left
and make our style not look posed

Teeth, now there's a mouthful
A subject that will make me smile
I left mine on a hilltop
And they've been up there a while

Money, what is there to say
That has not been said before?
The sinking dollar and inflation
Adds me to the working poor

But family, yes I said family
More die now, we're at that age
When we attend too many funerals
Instead, no weddings take the stage

Treasure your belongings
Your teeth, money and hair
But, remember all your loved ones
One day, they won't be there

I love it when it's raining here in Burundi 🇧🇮.

I love how everything becomes quiet just before.

           The birds 🦚 sing no more
           The trees 🌴 become still

You can feel the anticipation, the thrill...

It's like the living stop to breathe before takin' every drop in 🌱.
Re-connecting with myself
Re-discovering what it is meaningful
En-covering how my soul is beautiful
Re-newing myself

Éloge à ce souvenir

Où le soleil était généreux

Où la mélanine était belle et flamboyante

Où les coeurs étaient chaleureux

Et les âmes bienveillantes
Presque 7 ans que je ne suis pas rentré
Je ne sais même plus où est ma contrée
