It only takes a second to enter a new year
An event that will come & go & leave yu here
The sky is still blue, birds still singing
***** closet still awaits you, still needs cleaning

If yu had a beer in 2020, 2021 would not complain if yu threw up
Neither would 2020 worry nor ****** your snack planned for 2021

2021 is a house that will still fall if 2020 was a foundation on sand
If yu wave "bye" at 2020, then yu should have solutions at hand, or
2020 wil run after yu coz debts remain debts
And the deeper you went, the higher you will need to go to overcome the depth

The illusion is for a fresh start
A review of the past
A determination to end or start a new thing
Of success, a yardstick

Our forefathers relied on a shadow
.....many rains ago
Trying to mark day, year and season
This one here, an illusion
Time is just a number

Thou hath sang all night
And clouds paved way
Under the moon's watch
And stars bore witness

Thine is a mass choir
Alto and tenor well balanced
Roofs relay your message so did each pole wire
Birds cheered tremendously as leaves clapped

But where is thy soprano
Ye frighten lads with thy bass
Its dawn, sing softly like a piano
Thee hath chosen to scare old folks from their slumbers

Cos, thou art too strong

Love is light it empties your soul
You look confident, whether fast or slow
It clears your mind you feel your heartbeat
It makes you be a friend indeed

Hate is heavy it eats your soul
You look lost, whether fast or slow
It kills your mind you hear your heartbeat
It makes you be a fiend indeed

Once you feel the urge, heaven stands
Be it a plan to pray or a plan to fast
Like soldiers positioning themselves in combat
All in heaven is set, prayer is merely a demonstration of faith & trust

The urge to fast sets explosives on barriers and obstacles
Prayer becomes the detonator blasting open all walls

Emerging in silence, it shows up readying itself to burst like a bubble
Each word uttered already whispered into the ear by the Holy Spirit
Like a network of trails already created by preceeding elephants in a jungle
Each declaration is a succeeding footstep having all trampled thorns to the ground sticking

Authority was already given to those that lack or need, but want or desire
Like the talents from a Master to all men but only invested by those that to greatness aspire
This weapon an untouchable but intangible
Yet in any season accessible and readily available
Prayer and fasting, mountains move and things change

The winds
Who sends them from the heavens
Him who makes them blow on seas
Worship Him who orders the ravens

The sun shone
Who then brought the nightfall
Him who thereafter makes it to dawn
Worship Him who makes the rains fall

The air
Who provides the breath
Him who gives hope in dispair
Worship Him who conquered death

The waters
Who takes away our thirst
Him whose shoulder He offers
Worship Him in whom we find our rest

Unlike straight lines to infinity
Or an endless journey to the stars
Perhaps down to a bottomless pit
Or visions of an endless horizon from afar

Its an end to all consciousness
Immediate stop to all imaginations
A freeze to all breath and senses
Silence to the ears, to eyes total darkness

An end to all the love and fears
A stop to all laughter and tears
Neither smiles nor sadness
Neither sanity nor madness

When i imagine i reach a stop
Where erased are all the memories of old
Like hitting against a widest wall
On whose other side exists nothing at all

The fights that get down
The noises loud in town
The fear of losing eachother
Is all that makes us stick together

My love, my life depends on God
And the love of God is manifested in you
Your beauty is like polished gold
And when i was thirsty i rested in you

Your kiss takes away my fears
As your mellow words caress my ears
My only destination is the altar
Walking down the aisle is on my rota

I look forward to more joy and happiness
As our journey has taught us to hang on
Even though we fight i will never care less
You are my source of laughter, my backbone
We learn a lot from fighting
