As she lookedA Poem by Mufaro Kudakwashe Joseph MangonoShe looked at the sky and it was beautiful and grey, No stars yet but the scene kept her at bay. In scorching hot weather she still admired the scene And wondered all along where had it been? For it was a marvelous sight for all to see Unwittingly, to God she had launched her plea Praising Him of His Might for carving such a picture For to Him it was but a miniature
She wanted the weather to cease causing the heat, For 'it was ice cream weather' and all one could do was but sit. Maybe she wanted it to rain, to ease the strain Not with thunder and lightning for that would erase her gain. However in reality it was still scorching and not about to sway Maybe that is how she saw the sky was beautiful and grey And perhaps no longer wanted it to rain for it would go away As she looked at nature summarise the day
Maybe she still looked until the stars came Maybe she looked until the scene was no longer the same Thus too lack speculation and stick to facts And to lack flowery description and stick to acts She looked at the sky that was beautiful and grey With a bluish background that promised not to stay For it was getting dark and to black, blue had to make way And to the stars the sun had to call it a day Maybe it happened as she looked © 2013 Mufaro Kudakwashe Joseph Mangono |
