Words have the power
A basket of them
Effective effervescent
Freshly plucked
Quite like the flowers
Fragrant

A garland a bouquet
Maybe, just a few
At the feet of the deity
Even the wildflowers, one sees
Bring peace

Words have the power
Use them freely
Once in a while set yourself free
Many I have known, since ever  
Have chosen the quiet

Locking the fragrance
Flowers wilt
The voice devoid
Locked inside
Into the vast void

Words have the power
Brings in a sense of belonging
Dare to bare, helps to bear
All that is
The voices churning
Deep inside.my head
Are actually words
Waiting to
Get out
And recite
A poem
Every moment
Is more precious
Than a shining jewel

The play of afternoon sunlight
On high tide water

The gathering of birds
Perched atop a weather vane

The embrace of a loved one
After a shared struggle

The multi-coloured setting of the sun
Over silhouettes of winter trees

Steam rising
From a freshly made cup of tea

The swelling of hearts and dropping of tears
In recognition of a shared emotional experience

This world is full of more beauty
Than I could ever put into words

All that is required
Is surrender to one’s senses

A willingness to see all things
With wonder

The courage to open one’s heart
To the workings of the universe

Qiniseka
Ngokuqinisekileyo
Uqhawule amaqhina
Uwonyuke amaqhina
Uqengqeleke kwamanye amaqhina
Uzoqina
Uqaqambe ubeliqina
Kuyenzeka ukuqhatheka
Qiniseka
Ufunde ubungqina
Ufune amangqina
Konke kuyagqitha
Konke awunokugqiba
Kuyaqaqanjelwa
Kuyaqaqanjeliswa
Qina ngokuqiniseka
Yithi gqolo ngokuqhama
Uqhamise iziqhamo eziqaqambileyo
Uboqaphela
Uziqoqoshe
Nabanye ubaqoqoshe
Xa simanyene siqinile
Isiqhelo siyayoyisa ingqondo
Qala ngezokuqala kuqala
Xa uqalile gqiba
Xa ugqibile qala
Konke ukwenze ngokuqiniseka
