What Is Your Secret? Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The shining stars smiles at us
with their eternal wisdom
shimmering in delight
their secrets remain hidden
forever guarded by angels
in their majestic uniforms
and their heavenly swords

the sun wakes up every morning
with a giant torch on hand
searching for the lost treasures
of the universe
illuminating the dark pocket of space
peeping into the contents of the planets
in search of hidden treasures

the ocean waves at us everyday
pouring out its magical spell
hiding the secret that lay beneath
the enormous body of water
its immeasurable depth beyond our reach
our hands too short to reach
our eyes blinded by the waves
the illusion is complete

the human heart never sleeps
paranoid and scared
haunted by its deepest secret
the ominous feeling ever present
the stalker is in every shadow
death is the ultimate peacemaker
