We Were Young And Learning To Fly Poem by Ojok Isaac

Memories of the love lost in the morning
When every farmer still believe in planting
A seed that will feed the future generations
And out of blue came draught that destroyed all

We were young and learning to fly
With love as our feathered wings
We tried to flap...we never relinquished
We flied high above the land and clouds

We loved more than those older than we
We were able to see things we couldn't see
How small the world is to stop us
And how big the sky is to welcome us

We were young and learning to fly
Which got a legion of demons sad
But not even an Angel never smiled
For this was the love everyone should immitate

But no one knew what happened
Not even my own could elucidate
How my love got her new wings to fly
The super wings that I never gave her

So she flied faster than me
She flied higher than me
She disappeared in the sky
She went to this man who was jealous of me

And as they lay my love in a tomb
I never wanted to die but love her still
So I gave her half my soul to heal her
Because people can die but not love

My love on the day your mind resurrect
In the land of love in my heart
May you know that our love must rekindle
Like candle for I want to fly with you
