In my previous reflections, I explored the vibrant world of colors that captivate our vision. Tonight, however, I invite you to join me on a different sensory journey as we delve into the enchanting realm of sounds that resonate with our ears and humanity. Sounds, much like colors, are essential to our existence and environment.… Continue reading Sounds 1

You came as a Dream to me This Dream has made me beautiful
Music in me
They say you are the reason why they sing, I say you are the song in my heart.
Shepherd Lore
Dusk is messenger of sunset, birds fly away, hills sink, Fireflies become touches to guide the Shepherd through hills and valleys; nothing troubles man and sheep more than the thought of warm wool and smell of hay
Wait for me by Johnny Drille
Johnny Drille gives us a touching country music. The first time I saw the video I got all emotional. Enjoy this African beat.

The Shepherds Tale, another
Night approached silently again And to the shepherd it was time to retire A time of his loneliness, a time of his daydreaming The Night was the shepherds only companion She brought with her a galaxy and some fresh air And a bouquet of country music from the other locals When the shepherd laid down,… Continue reading The Shepherds Tale, another
A far country
On crossing the imaginary line in my minds eye I see a country far away, farther than the length of the earth Where the strong breezes of the ocean glide with the passing cloud And the waters are troubled each time the breezes came The dawn break high up the brown morning cloud And… Continue reading A far country
The Storm is Over

1. My Music
The sweet tingling of the guitar strings
On my soft palms reminds me of a song
Which plays quietly in my heart
Without drums and strings they play
The songs call out to love
To memories which I adore
I will let this music play through the valleys
And the peak of highest mountains
Through the fields where yellow corn grow
And through the empty hallway
Believing you hear me someday
2. The Train
Nothing excites a countryside boy better
Than a steady long stream of the iron snake!
When it comes with its powerful grace,
The roadways shake and tremble greatly
With the tongues of various green grasses scrubbing
The sides of the iron snake, without drawing his attention
The goats bleat, the kids yell, men came to see
Though unperturbed with the movements about
The iron snake hoots out loud and clear warnings
Minding his business, he went on jogging by
3. August
Some holidays, some month!
Some dancing and some fun
The days are mild, so are the nights
The food warm and the fruits ripe
When it rains, the wet clay rejoice
And women gather to pick the ‘udala’*
Sweet fruit atimes but sour other times
The sun shine is beautiful,
It creates a bright atmosphere
One unrivaled just for August
4. WordPress
My days are joyful and hopeful
Full of sweet dreams and journeys
I discovered a pathway down the jungle
And threaded carefully thru the thorn
Wandering in the great unknown of the pen,
Wondering what might become of my pain
But nothing forth coming without a try
Now I answer why not, when they ask why?
And this dream won’t be complete without you
Yes I can fly high, I can soar higher with you
Commentary.
Udala fruit is a tropical fruit and well eaten in the southern parts of West Africa. The name udala perhaps is a native Igbo name. Thank you WordPress for this wonderful opportunity!
Sharing is caring!
Wake me up
With your tears
Of love and care
Let my consciousness comfort you
Wake me up
To plough the fields
To gather wheats
And see your smiles
Wake me up
Even when I’m strengthless
To feel the airs
Come from the mountain
Wake me up
Draw back the curtains
Let the Golden Sun
Come shining into the room
Wake me up
To tell the world
About your love
And how it changed me
Wake me up
To the falling rains
To Heavenly desires
To Gods sweet grace
