Samuel Umana

Oh how wild my expectations were!
How fascinating my plans were
Carefully designed our ways are
Pleasantly celebrated if applauded
...

It was the tomorrow you waited for
Anticipating, futuristic you longed for it
Like a Deer for flowing waters
Tomorrow is today
...

Wait, wait they call out to you
Holding them in dismay you move on
Tic tac, tic tac you go on
Never tired nor weary
...

No one willing intends it
It comes naturally, perhaps gradually
Like a boat drifted from the shore
Some though willingly
...

An emotional phenomenon
From the days of birth pangs
Like the waters in a coconut
It is wound up within
...

Blind, motionless and never tired you stand
A look through your eyes shows how pleasant you could get
From the rising horizon to the setting sun you beauty remains fast
...

Mirror, mirror on the wall
How glorious your reflective is!
Penetrating the marrows it pierces
To tell the very secret of the bone
...
