Darkness engulfs the evening sky <br />Sweet birds merrily to their nests exit <br />The last of day slowly vanishes like shadows <br />Drums can be heard in a distance <br />A celebration perhaps? <br /> <br />Hmmm… <br />Silence chills the night now in stupor <br />Stars can be seen in their splendor <br />Bright as ever <br />Beautiful as usual <br />Attesting my love for you <br />Bright and beautiful <br /> <br />The violin <br />Playing passionate tunes <br />A testament to our passions <br />The harps <br />Playing a happy tune <br />A testament to our happiness <br />The guitars <br />Playing a good and gallant tune <br />A testament to our love <br />The piano <br />In its might <br />Playing a purifying tune <br />A testament to our pure unification <br /> <br />Ohhh… <br />Dancers <br />Dancers everywhere <br />Is it tango or salsa? <br />Is it samba or lingala? <br />I really don’t care <br />The hips to the right <br />The hips to the left <br />The hips in rhythm <br />Hips gyrated by these dancers <br />A testament to our eternal love <br /> <br />The soldiers… <br />In their uniforms march with stride <br />Alert as ever <br />Soldiering on and on <br />Unabated <br />A testament to our solidarity <br />Even the tempest <br />Has known all along <br />Of this love that is everlasting<br /><br />Jack Shaka<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-everlasting/
