tell me what you will see 14


Her Eden





The village surrounds by trees and bushes
On the untarred road leading to the homes
The villagers live by fishing and farming....
The sea and its coastlines the bounty........

Certain areas secondary forest looms
On a night of the full moon imagination run wild
Of the demons and the friendly ghosts walk
The make-shift hut sitting near to the secondary forest

The untarred roads link to nearby homes
Not so far away from their centre of professions
By the sea and its surrounding areas
On a night like this the lapping waves whisper

"Now in the dark forest
Light begins to appear
Small tiny floating fire
It flies in the open"

"Look into the forest
Tell me what you will see
Mothers and children try
All eyes gearing towards the focus"

The wind weeps silently
Carrying the message in
The moonlight casting shadows
The brilliant rays of golden yellow

In the forest a white woman appears
Sparkling bright with tiny drops of sparks
Walking steadily on the shadowy track
Without looking which way she walks

"Is she real elder?"
"I can't tell you
It is something for you to believe
Of angels or demons in our lives"

"Mommy looks an angel!
She walking here isn't she?"
The elder claps his hands together
The image disappears in the dim night
