Poetry I See Poem by Shamba Kaunda

I see poetry in the eyes of little kids longing to see tomorrow,
I see it in their parents eyes tired with this world and its horror
I see poetry in a flower that blossoms with beauty just to die,
I see it in the wariness of morning dew waiting for the sunshine just to dry,
I see poetry in the smiles of newly weds,
I see it in a widow, in her sorrow and the tears she never shades.
I see poetry in a day that dawns with happiness and just to end in tears.
I see it in a friend that knows all your strength and all your fears.
I see poetry in the sea waves rushing to the shores just to end.
I see it in my dream, when I wake my dreams in my poetry I blend.

I see poetry through blind eyes and because of poetry I can see.
