I am happy, I am positive
that eventually I will publish all my work, all my poetry and the novel I am
currently working on. Day by day I feel closer to my destiny. I am not taking
NO for an answer, the heavens have just deemed me worthy of this breakthrough
and therefore the world and its residents MUST open way for me and the universe
sure is conspiring in my favour, the great Alchemist was right when he said "
When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that
person realize his dream" . I am taking up a course for novel writing with
SA writers' college next year just to learn the acceptable technique of
writing. I have a story and I am ready to tell it, it has haunted me for many
nights, took away the pleasure from slumber and now is the time for my freedom
and finally face the demons of my sleep.
Below is the note you will
find in the Anthology.
TEARS LEAPING
Tears leap from eye to eye,
Sorrow kissing every soul.
Insults seduce the lips of the pure,
Dancing to the beats of rejection.
Body to body, we move to the touch
of loneliness:
We are children to the kings of
sorrow,
The offspring of the mothers who
meant to abort us,
Mimicking what our forefathers
became.
We are the descendants of pain.
Thank you Brigitte.
If I didn't believe in dreams coming true
before, today I am born again into something even greater than faith in the God
of Art. Like he did with the great Psalmist David, he truly turned my wailing into
dancing; and removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
