The Canvas Of Life Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I cannot beg for mercy
Under the radius of the sun
I can only submerge myself
Into the mystery of faith, hope and Love
And drink from the spring of life
I have no intention to vacate my problems
I will carry them to the edge of reason
And pour them into the hands of God
I will not be held hostage by fear or hopelessness
I will bury myself into nothingness
And be nourished by the fruits of the spirit
I will not pour scorn onto my neighbour
I will follow the path of Light
And pour myself into the ocean of Love
I will definitely climb on the pedestal of hope
And be the firmament of faith
I will not use my words to betray humanity
I will use my words to portray the canvas of life
I will pour the ink of poetry onto those who are fearful
And they will be liberated from the shackles of the mind
It's only the full canvas of existence
That can hold our story
We have been beaten, bruised and wounded
We have been to the edge of sanity and insanity
And we have seen the wall of hopelessness
We are now ready to close our eyes
And open our hearts
We are ready to believe in the unknown mysteries
We are ready to walk in faith, hope and Love
