In My Hand... Poem by Thabani Khumalo

Dear Universe

I have found that thing!
I've discovered a wonder in the crowds of man.
In my hand, I hold a gift of nature;
of love; and of beauty; of attraction and of even more,
I hold a talent that can save the world from all the pain.

Once I begin to move my hand
a lot of the physical universe will change forever:
in my hand,
I hold an open heart that is as soft as a little flower.
I listen to the strings of a guitar as they play the melodies
and the birds when singing into the wide open air.
I am he, the God that walks upon the earth.
