RAFFIA REED

Sometimes we work from a self-defence mechanism perspective

We need to ask ourselves why we are defending against the unexpected

Is it the truth that we are scared to seek

or is it the lies we have dared to speak

that keep us wrapped up and bound like raffia reed

only to find that this too unfurl’s like twisted deeds

To till the certainty of truth we expound our life’s roots

We tell ourselves the help was covered in soot

so we can keep our lives from prying eyes

When all we need to is let go so we can fly

To nest our desires cradled in the bosom of clouds

So we have the simple life of living unbound

Living in the life of now and future realities

we must sync our trials with triumphs subtleties

so our sunsets can rival sunrise and we avert demise
