By Thompson Emate
THE CHASE
Chasing a moment in time,
Running against the changing clime,
Pursuit of a desire in life,
On the path of a worthy strife,
Listening to my mother,
Learning how she goes over and moves further,
Searching for a path through the night,
Seeking redemption’s light,
Walking out of each day’s shadow,
Hope tells me to look out of the gloomy window.
Buoyed by the benevolent elements of nature,
I bask in the Creator’s favour.
Every time I see a new way,
Monsters stealthily walk into that day.
I’m a conundrum of light and gloom,
It’s like an eternity in this room.
