Pious Desire Poem by Victor Ogoti

There is so much I want to say
And that’s the problem now
How did one put in writing,
Dreams and desires of a lifetime?

Tell me why it seems so hard
To put it all on paper piece
Things that seem so simple at heart
Yet so hard to put on paper

There is so much of this desire
To see you one moment in time
Thou that holds the sun in your palm
Thou that propel the earth on orbit

oh how do you make the stars
That burn crimsons upon the sky
you mould mountains and curve valleys
and paint the sky crystal azure

Show me now how you walk on water
When all around are storms and tides
Teach my mind and the delving of my soul
How to survive where tsunamis live
How to love where hatred is ablaze
