This is where the-
Spaceship of poetry has landed me
English is beautiful a color to paint with
But Swahili is the breast milk
A mother's breast is sweetest
be it canine
English was crafted with unique abilities
Expressions smooth like whiskey
Words that connect to the soul
God really blessed the language
I am grateful that I can write
Construct like engineers and designers
God endowed humans the ability to create
But only poets can create with words
I turn to Swahili now
To feed hearts with its-
Charming soulfood
From planet to planet
As my spaceship of poetry traverses worlds
I thank God for the talent
And my journey He will guide me
My destination to be the shinning star
Twinkling the beauty of literature
To shine like Venus in the morning
is my desire
To love you dear Poetry
And embrace you in Swahili and English
To feel you in every way
And inspire hearts of humanity
