be seen
create and be identified
have a stamp by your make so people will be able to spot you.
so you will be able to have your mark on the make.
create and be seen
have your mark on my make so i will be able to remember you.
be seen in me
be seen in your make
be visible in the open
have your mark on your make so you will be able to know yourselve...

tshelo jo, bo siame
tshelo jo, bo monate
leboga ipele o tshele.

ka go bo, o naledi
ka jalo, leboga...ipele..o tshele.
tshelo jo, bo a phatsima
ka jalo, phatsima le jone
galalela ka bo-gouta jwa gago
tshelo jo, bo a tswelela
ka jalo, tswelela gouta,
leboga, ipele, o tshele...
naledi naletsana...!
i see the sky,
full with dark clouds bearing holy waters
the atmosphere is dim with moist air
chilly gusts of air rage about
dry spring leaves scartter around
washed by along the roadsides.
i listen outside,
rumbling noice is heard in the distance
showers are coming.
i hear the rainstorm atop my roof
i am hopeful for my park
i am hopeful for my herd
i am hopeful for my land
i am grateful for my plots
i feel the sweet scent of rain
i look up...
i see doors of heaven opening
raindrops bathe the earth
i smell dry lands swallowing the waters
the damp soil smells good
the damp grounds tastes great
wash away the dirt
cleans thy spirit
downpour bathe the earth
wash away wickedness
fly away my heart
fly away my soul
rain has come....

i have seen him somewhere, i have not met him yet
but i have seen him at some place, in some sort
i talk to him so often, i read his letters so often
i wait for his calls so anxiously...
waiting is never easy
i listen to him...he listens to me
somehow we connect, somehow we relate
and it feels so good and so right
we are going to meet soon, for the first time
i am tense and panicky
but excited
i cannot wait
waiting is never easy
as the time and place draws nearer
i can feel my heart racing
i can feel the rhythm of my pulse
each kilometer draws us nearer
each hour, each stop brings us closer
each breath respires with a link to our spirit
in friendship shared
each beat pounds with a bond to our soul
in love shared
we will look kindly smile to smile
we will stare lovingly eyes to eyes
we will smile and laugh softly
we will hug and kiss tenderly
we will talk softly face to face
speaking the language of angels
we shall stroll in the evenings
we shall look at the vast sky
we shall see a shooting star and make a wish
we shall see a falling star and count our blessings
we shall burst with so much to say
we shall feel the moment
we shall imagine, of what of our union
we shall think, of what of our pronounsation
we shall feel, of what of our accent
we shall dream...we shall wonder...
if ever to make one whole voice...
if ever it will be one of our worship
if ever we will be on of our own kind..
if ever we will make one sweet love...

you know my thoughts
i know your thoughts
we know each other
you read my mind
i read your mind
we know each other
we quarrel without speaking
we argue still.
after our unspoken clash
after our silent quarrel
we stand and look far ahead above the horizon
we see angels looking upon us
we need angels to unite us
and without saying a word...
we smile....
still hushed, we unite
they have gone to the bush
they say the bush has a life
there is a living in the bush
i can hear them singing but i cannot see them
their voices are clear and penetrate through the wild
they are singing folk songs
they are bringing firewood
they say wood is in the bush
they are bringing moretlwa(brandybush)
they say berries are in the bush
they are bringing cowpat for our hut
they say the bush has a life
there is living in the bush
i can hear them singing but i cannot see them
their voices are clear and penetrate through the wild
they are singing folk love songs

a whisper a whisperer...
this voice is a whisper only to you, to the world
this world around you is advancing at a pace
the world of your own is at our own peace
the thoughts are of own at your own pace.... to the world.
and voicing them is intimidating because they would not be heard nor understood
as a resort, pen is put onto paper
and keeping these thoughts to you is all the confort you need. reading each one of them, one of each of the days gives you the entire cool, for deep inside of yourself you know you have an audience...
because being read, this whisper has a deep sense of meaning...
being read, this whisper is understood as is...
and to the whisperer,
not being able to boldly voice out inner thoughts and feelings,
kills self-confidence
destroys self-being
sinks and drop self-image
tear rips the control of self-life...
and to the whisperer,
reading out the whisper is a sensation of confort.
so, one other good sunday...
it is a bit cloudy and the humid air smells so fresh and good for the soul. under a big baobab tree, but little afar, a crowd of young and grown is waiting. this crowd is seated facing the baobab where there is a display of a guitar, a stool and a sound mixing system. these crowds of people are waiting patiently for what looks like a show of some kind, and have been waiting for a while now...
far aside is a mobile refrigerator, a full size cask where anyone thirsty helps themselves...
the atmosphere is thrilling and everyone is enjoying the cool air. suddenly there is a voice coming out from the speaker systems, it is this voice that makes this crowd silent, it is this voice that makes this crowd stand on their feet, it is this voice that draws them to the meaning of being there, that they realise is a reading of whispers.
the whisperer flows with tender meaning and affection, the whisperer beams with love..the audience follows each word of the whisper, the audience is taken to heights and lows of the moments in the whisper. everybody is silently following the voice. they blend with each whisper. they adjust to each word, they read each word and they love what they hear and how they hear it.
there is communication, a link in the air, in the atmosphere with the crowd, with the whisperer, a powerful bond.
and to the whisperer...
being able to see the joy and delight in the crowd,being able to see them appreciate the whispers. the understanding they get is a boost to inner self. the whisperer regains control and assurance.
the audience is thrilled to know the session continues again the following few weeks.
and to the whisperer,
there is growth and advancing with the world, the crowd
there is control and knowledge with the world, the crowd
there is excitement and laughter in the beholder's eyes during rehearsal
to yet another rhythm in a whisper

am i growing?
on this day as i walk to work i encounter new things and different atmosphere and attitudes, and wonder what they bring in me, i wonder if they bring some what kind of fate? i wonder if they bring some good days? i wonder if they bring total new beginnings, new growth and heights...
i stop wondering and focus on my walk, it is a good morning; clear sky still pinkish with sunrise rays...this breeze brushing against my smooth cheeks fills me with air that flourishes my soul. traffic driving at full speed everybody getting to their own different destinations, as they pass by this woman walking by the pavement, the wind blowing and brushing her dreadlocks back..., they don't see her eyes as they are shielded from the strong wind by her dark goggles... and they wonder why she is not one of one of them in one of one of those taxis and they don't know she has her own wonders as well. everybody wonders, and somebody thinks nobody wonders, somebody thinks they are alone, well we all wonder. "this mind that wonders..., izzonline poetry"
very often i make resolutions to overcome certain problems and to change certain ways,allay new ones...but i don't seem to be following them, i don't seem to be growing and learning. but this nil nil seven was supposed to be the beginning of a life in purpose, and i can say it hasn't started yet but i see some changes and i wonder am i growing?
but there is one strong thing i love in myself; i am able. i have the ability to rise to the challenge. and as much as growth is important and, as much as i am important, so, i am still growing...
are u growing?

relocate to dislocate
disconnect to reconnect
zeal triple trip
zealous location with double connections
walk to the mall in connections and to base
talk about tripple trip with double connections

tired body and mind from tripple trip,
slumber into dreamland
dreamworld it is about new dawn...
the next sunshine....
dreamworld about self mind about self image
good morning of good afternoon new location new connections
great sunrise...long shower...good looking, it is a great day
nice hot coffee...long stare in the mirror meditating
good sunshine good walk to work
good looking it is a great world...
good attitude, great smile...it is a good day
