Three Poems
by Yunus Mohamed
(Durban, South Africa)
MY QUITE GRIEF
I am not whirling away
from my quite grief
i embrace my grief
in all heartiness
each morning,
every night
and
when the earth is hushed
and stars shine
i dance and sing
to my grief
Oh no!
My grief does not weep
can you not see
it's the season of spring in my eye
look!
how happy the gardener is
how happy all the budding flowers are
Where would i be without my grief,
you ask?
where would the sun be without its sky
where would the earth be without its moon
i love my grief and i know that
my grief
loves me too
**
YOU SAID I SAID
You said
our eyes met tenderly
and
we smiled at each other
falling in love that moment
that is how
our love blossomed
you said
you said
our love gave birth
to a billion stars
on the bed of our sky
while the earth hummed softly
you said
But,
did you know that
we were as one
from our day-birth
come, let us journey
through the veil of time
into our beginning
look,
love is smiling at us
i said.
**
ALL OF US
This world
is for us
all of us,
we together
as one
for you ,for me
The sky,
the clouds
the ant
The caterpillar
The rich
The poor
The lame
The beggar
Who owns the sky
Who owns the earth
Who owns the wind
Who owns the sea
He who lives
For others
lives
In a seed
A seed
that flowers
All that is beautiful
all that is
LOVE
