I RUN THE RACE OF MY LIFE

 

I explore my childhood to it’s fullest 

living carefree without fear 

creating imaginary friends with love 

soliloquizing insanely, all alone  

all by myself I thought 

I thought the world was just for cruise and flex 

believing everything is subtle beneath me 

my happiness knew no bound 

right there on the red clay I mould 

carve images and shapes that comes to my mind

either they are appealing or not 

my artistry was top notch to me

as soon as the cloud gets pregnant we rejoice

we dance giddily in the rain 

screaming at the top of our lungs 

the strokes hit our skin in ecstasy

squirrel hunt is our happy game 

grasshopper’s wings sounding melodious 

fireflies lights up the walkway path at night 

bush rustles, I run the race of my life

petrichor fills my lungs in awe 

the smell of early morning dew on leaves 

cock crowing as dawn greets our yam barn 

I stretch as my stomach hurts from unripe fruits
