Nature Speaks Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Nature Speaks

I sat there trying to write a poem, as i had not written one in several days. And, this troubled me no end. Poetry is the medium by which i find peace when i am troubled. I find happiness when i have written my thoughts in verses, bringing clarity to that which preoccupied my mind. Good or bad. I have been to outer space in my poetry. I have been to other countries sitting in my home writing poetry. I have even been in love and out. I died and resurrected. Died and reincarnated. Gone there, done that.

So, i sat there trying to write a poem, but my mind was not settled; not focused enough to make the words stream out of my subconscious. And, yet the poem was staring at me like an expectant puppy ready with a leash and waiting for a stroll in the park.
The roses and chrysanthemums were nodding their aromatic approvals and beckoning me to write a poem. The birds chirped cheerily.

Those quiet moments
Full of lonely emptiness
Nature speaks to you
