Andiswa Mvanyashe (Qumbu (Eastern Cape))
Merged worlds
He smelled her perfume from afar
Listened to her heart beat
Understood her in silence
He wondered, watched
And admired her world
He imagined her world he never lived
They were both visionaries
Backed up by prayer
Yet they never knew
They were praying for each other
World in different settings yet beliefs the same
It's like they knew their worlds had to merge
They dreamt of the day yet they waited
They both had wonderful worlds
However, they had to end them for one world
A world where the word "I" was no longer in use
Worlds merged with one reason
A world blessed yet not always green
A world of all emotions yet one emotion dominating
A world some are wishing for
Merged worlds
