Life Found Me Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Along the corridors of my existence
I had an extraordinary encounter
Life found me
And i made a commitment
To hold life's beauty in my hands
And let it flow through my being
This is the most beautiful marriage
I have been to the summit of life
I have undressed all of my scars
And revealed all my vulnerabilities
Even when the cord of our partnership
Was weak and very fragile
We stood together
This is not an ordinary marriage
We carry each other with dignity and respect
We are bound by the same accord of Love
We are stronger together than apart
Life has shown me so many of its secrets
Fondled with my most sensitive private moments
Made me taste some of its most hidden mysteries
Life filled me with the most beautiful sensations
And made me flow like a river of ecstasy
I have seen the true essence of life
I have tasted the nectar of life
Listened to the silence of its tranquil moments
Allowed the substance of my being to be known
Life taught me to be still
Even when everything seems to be aflame
Engulfed with turmoil and rage
Overpowered by sorrow
I have to let go of my fears
And embrace life with the whole of my being
This marriage is not an ordinary one
It is a marriage of a lifetime
