Menacing glare of the Bulilima sun
Toil, sweat, and slog all day long
Trying to reflect on what could have been
Twin mirrors with forged images of my tomorrow
Causing excitement and anxiety on today's young
Handicapped by fear, society is forever on the edge
Old trees bring stability of thought
The stories in them are far deep in the ground of knowledge
Nightfall is all but bliss
A serenade is going on outside my window
A hyena is reminding me that life is all laughs after all
The elephant concurs with a loud trumpet sound
Suddenly nature's mirth sweeps over my heart
Drawing shut the double curtains of love and peace
My mind to mellow into quiet and stability
I can feel His divine love begin to unfurl all over my soul
Bringing a picturesque calm all to my dreamland
A dreamland with a beautiful rainbow in the far horizon
