Duet
with life
A duet with life
She sings I listen
In her rhythm I rhyme
Every line a note beyond tomorrow
Her every phrase a cipher solved by age
She drums, I dance
Every step a definition of my true being
She drums a rhythm known to the African dance steps
She played every note a depiction of life
She blew the flute of sorrow and harmonized it with
the harp of happiness
Am on a duet with life
Her poetry is still a mystery
Her lines gave life only for her stanza to take it
back
She read me her lines
Made me smile and somewhere in-between my laughter she
made me cry
She blessed and cursed
Gave and took it back
The best things in life I got
And the worst pains life inflicted
I live because life choose me
And together we are on a duet
