Revelation Poem by Caleb Tukahiirwa

Yesterday i was him, it was then
Then, so dark was the world in him
He lived, a life that seemed rather borrowed
A soul that died little with time
In an hour of hailstorms and earthquakes
With giants of mountains forming before it
Plains that had dried of their green
That was him and he was no more to see
Always at war with an unknown being
A shadow that had become boss of him
It was him weak, tired and helpless
Or could it be an elusion as it was unbearable

The dark suddenly vanished into the bright light
A light that he had never been seen before
It struck the blanket of darkness away
Victory over the shadow had come to sight
Giants crumbled to the grounds
Weeds were washed out of the garden
So was it now, clean and it was now me
The soul was growing back to whole
I had welcomed the light into my heart
That’s true, i was a new born
Today, i am me and it’s now.
