Poetry2 Poem by Gert Strydom

{after Uys Krige)

So easily her words did enchant me,
made me in love with how se does the world see.

She comes expected and unexpectedly with insight
during the day or at any time of night,

of her power she gives as it's mine to be on every day,
pierces through every other thought, do her words say,

walks naked as reality truly is without disguise,
brings meaning and paint things dark or bright that I can only surmise

and sometimes I think with her I can do anything
but at times I feel from her lost and then I hear her whispering.
