Fighting ghosts of denial

Rejection has always been that sore pimple that sticks out no matter how hard you try to contain the fear of seeing plans, hope and happiness fading into the unthinkable. Fear knows when to budge in without knocking “you are well aware that it will send you back into that dark hole of depression you just got out of”. Palms of wisdom if you don’t keep me calm or help me contain the escaping dust of giving up, you might lose yourself too. breathe in, breathe out…..

I have always felt as if , and believed that, the future of my family is on my back, I cant watch rejection wiping off their hope. We have never been on the platform of those that afford what the hearts yearn for, So I have cast my eyes on promising aspects and I have gathered strength to push my feet towards achieving the unbelievable. Palms of wisdom, I am toiling with perseverance up my sleeves, am moiling with hope but rejection( shaking my head) . breathe in, breathe out….

Today I held on with my teeth and shivering hands watching rejection roughly pulling away my shredded hope, but “ a resilient blade of grass stands tall in the face of rejection, untouched and unintimidated” and I am that resilient blade. Courage whispered tales of joy pausing a rhetorical question “ are you afraid of trembling small boy fear , in tattered clothes?” . breathe in, breathe out….

Winnie Mandela The shield of hope for us women The black bird that stood firm on thorny branches enduring the pain The silver lining on the dark cloud of chauvinism and yes I mean an inspiration 'IHAWU LOKUZIPHUNGELA!' Resilience was her motto, Determination her push factor Independence her own goal Standing firm on a world which pressed down women elevating males..'IMBOKODO!' The voice of thunder sending old men away gnashing their teeth and their knees trembling in fear The gourd of wisdom, if you sat next to her you could quench your thirst for knowledge. The flower that bloomed even in stormy weathers I stand firm with confidence to share that 'no shadow intimidated her' A well of courage where we all draw water the water of confidence and resilience . My people a heroine has moved to the next life 'INDLOVUKAZI IKHOTHEME!' Leaving us with words of encouragement memories to keep us going, a light in our quest for freedom ...

  The symbol of courage and strength  even your flag emits the rays of mettle  The world applauds your resilience in  this whirlwind that inflicts pain to your bleeding nation  You have shamelessly embraced yourself with your warm flag  the blanket of peace even in this stormy weather  you have touched the joints of bones that gave up  even before walking the path of freedom reviving the spirit of hope Through battered windows they watch you take the walk of tribulation  but I know tomorrow, our eyes will feast in jubilation as the world helps you sit on your throne of sovereignty, peace and freedom I strongly believe that  day is drawing nearer ......

Little bird - PALMS OF WISDOM 2.0

  Little bird You had been growing with time  Even though you were born in miles I watched you as you blossom  But now look at the crows  Laughing as they chase  you with eyes of destruction You had been cherished with love But now you are rotting with lust  I watch you fall apart helplessly because my nest is too far to warm you You had been promised freedom but sadly Here you are caged and showered with lies and deceit. I will watch you perish because my hands  are tied. You are now left alone with your nest askew reeking melancholy. I saw your tears yesterday I see them today  but if you leave them  I will see them tomorrow You have been left with scars  But they come to add more  I watch you fall into depression accompanied by  Low self-esteem because you trust and love too much Your ribs are broken  Your wings are tender  Your legs are shaking Your head is hammering  I will bandage and sooth you  Small ...
