Glory be to You Christ for these blooming Jacarandas with ramified leafless branches pointing up to the clear welkin of this Savanna noon, their delicate purple flowers scattered all over the school courtyard, they stir my memory of a time at this same place, the days when I was still little and I had to cross a stream which was much ordinary than the brine before me Thank You Lord for this invisible air whose existence is a mystery yonβ what my mind can fathom, yet its presence is tangible as long as my heart beats, even at rate lower than this: the beat from the choir percussion, and adrenaline much higher.
But the caprices of my heart, with a faith so feeble, distance me from You my Lord. Have mercy on me oh Christ and carry me across this brine lest these days become a poignant memory that will haunt me till I sleep Eternal sleep.
[IN ZIMBABWE, JACARANDA FLOWERS START TO BLOOM FROM MID OCTOBER, A SIGN THAT EXAMS ARE AROUND THE CORNER.]
