Poetry by Thandeka T'kay Gonde

Poetry is...
...a prayer in the heart of a pilgrim
...a song, on the lips of a lover
...a letter, lost on the way
...a ticking bomb, in the hands of a soldier
...a bead of sweat, on the farmer's brow
...a jade, at the bottom of the ocean
...a leaf, floating in the air
...a dialogue, between a great mind and itself
...expensive wine, drip drop drip drop, down the cliff of tabletop
Poetry is...
...the music of a silent guitar
...a dream so real, a reality so ethereal
