Blessing In Disguise Poem by Gelila A Gobena

All the beautiful ladies and gentlemen out there;
can you tell me if you have been there?
You might say what do you mean by there?
Here goes the story if you have ears that dare.

It is a story of the silent ones;
fragile and yet beautiful ones;
who care less for riches or rags;
not fools but vulnerable ones.

Who kept hiding to protect
their beautiful heart;
struggling with their daily ups and downs,
until they met the master of art;
who read beautiful scripts
day and night,
which made them see
greener grass on the other side,
which made them believe
the painting on the wall is right.

Still wondering if they are thinking right,
but came out to play with sincere heart;
because they’re playing with the master of art.

The master of art here goes and say;
I am glad you came out to play;
I am blessed to have such a great day;
Forgot to tell you
the painting on the wall is gone yesterday,
my tongue is tied
to read you the scripts every day,
It’s just a mask that I wear every day,
Don’t say a word I have nothing to say,
I am so hungry for my next prey.

Such a lesson for the vulnerable ones,
who thought the grass is greener on the other side,
with the fine tuned words of the master of art,
but this is such a blessing in disguise,
that helps them to hold on
to the beautiful rose by their side,
which is waiting for them until they figure out,
who will keep them safe again with open arms,
because they understand there is no other grass.
