Because I Listened Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Deep in the realm of the spirit
I found myself walking along the emptiness of myself
Having unloaded my ego at the doorstep of life
I was walking the path of light
I was re-tracing my steps back home
I was listening to the tune of Silence
Directing my existence
Like listening to a musical masterpiece
I was filled with rhythmic vibrations of nothingness
Only faith, hope and love filled my heart
It was the faith in me
Illuminating the way
It has been a long time
Since I have walked barefooted
On the desolate sand dunes of my heart
It's not the emptiness
Or the Silence
That attracts me
It's the heart of Love
Flowing in me
Like a river
I am gushing out
Rushing to my beloved
