A rose so beautiful as observed from a far distance <br />And beneath is the stream that watered <br />and nurtured the rose to mature to whole. <br />Bright Red with the tears of blood <br />and dark Red with sweats of blood. <br />Pain is painted in the eyes <br />and sorrow that is read from the lies told in pretence in the presence of peers <br /> <br />The footsteps I heard behind me are those that left the prints <br />infront of me <br />The voice that whispered in my ear was the one <br />that had been shouting my name in the dark <br />I am ahead of my leaders <br /> <br />My destiny is marked by my visions and dreams <br />The images that I am gazing now are my yesterday's imaginations <br />But wait... Something is coming! ! ! <br />Someone stands before me in a glowing gown and say ' What can I do for you'... <br />Shhhhh... He said ' I know what you want' <br /> <br />I heard him but never saw him <br />He touched me but I couldn't hold him <br />And again he asked ' are you ok? ' <br />I said no but he said 'yes you are now' <br /> <br />Slowly he went back to the dark and light came to me <br />I thought he left me but he kept telling me what to do <br />I didn't listen to him <br />I kept moving at a greater pace but he caught up with me <br />and said ' you can't run away from your shadow' <br /> <br />Then someone told me of his experiences and that's when I <br />realized that trapped myself in a rotating cube <br />But as it is said ' the only way out is the only way through' <br />And so with victory I made it out of myself <br />Learnt to swallow my pride, and now I walk with pieces of joy <br />and peace joined to my life<br /><br />VUSI CHRIS VENUS MALALA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-from-far/
