The Remedy Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

On my prescription
Scribbled in illegibility
Life was dispensed
No doses nor formulations given
Life was a concoction of chemical remedies
And I was the sick patient on the bed of life

In this inhospitable environment
I was blessed with the hospitality of Silence
I could not go a day without submerging myself in this liquid
Silence became my antidote
And soon i realized that the true remedy of life is not prescribed
Nor dispensed on the chapters of pharmacology
It is neither medicine nor physics that hold the key to wellness
It is the calibration of the mind, body and soul
That opens the garden of peace
It is the mixture of peace, joy and Silence
Minus the toxic plume of ego
That will ultimately get you home
It is unconditional Love
That bandages and heals all illnesses
Love is the remedy of life
