Oceans Away Poem by Lundi Ncuthu

A moment of silence
This year hence, it will be forgotten
as all come and go
these lands so cruel, Once you fall
they sow you for the fertility of the land
A moment of silence
Time has anguished hence
From seconds to decades
This lonely path abides
Beyond the vast oceans
Peace and harmony dwell
Each night comes to set
Each sunrise, each sunset
Be a symbol of a ceaseless
Flow of time as cascades
Yesterday seems dead
As a tree of leaves withered
Though been here long enough but hands empty
This is tough but no laugh
I take a step after another
Farther and farther away
Away from the yesterday
To the rhythms of tomorrow
There's the tomorrow
Beyond the Oceans
Farther away from yesterday
farther away from pains that rains within my veins
for the first time A radiant smile across my face
All I have is ashes of yesterday
this world nature full of pleasant silent voices
The reeks of honey bees
The soft inaudible whisper of flowers
the silent rains
The cascades
This world of freedom
Perhaps free from doom
Beyond the Vast Oceans
Happiness reigns in the rain
