The Guinea-fowl's Cheerful chatter

The guinea fowl have this cheer

In their everyday chitter and chatter

That I cannot help but wonder

What they are saying to each other

All lovely kinds of things like

How tasty was that grassy-bite

The weather is so fine

No complaints about rain or shine

Did you see this morning’s

beautiful painting in the sunrise

And those new blooming wildflowers

In between the lovely tasty greenery

Singing a song of praise and thanks

Not an ounce of stress in their lives

they happily chat away to themselves

and keep us humans in the wonder

Peace in the Wilderness :-)

Surrounded by the bush; inhaling the air so fresh

Hearing the birds chirping so happily

Sitting next to a loved one, staring at the fire’s flames

Appreciating the beautiful night skies; with the full moon casting

reflections on the stream rustling over the pebbles

Far away hearing a Woodland Kingfisher saying

Chip-chirrrrr   chip-chirr   chip-chirrrr    chip- chirrrrr

I imagine him saying: come here, come here, come here

A shiver down my spine on hearing the lions roaring

The unforgettable sense of sanity, peace and quietness

And deep down in my heart knowing that

This is the great spirit of the african wilderness

The Cross Shaped Morning Star

I’m stuck down in a black spiral

A very confusing spiral

It’s a maze and it’s going downwards

I’m confused about everything in life

Don’t know what to do

I’m in a dark tunnel of glue

Was that my imagination or did i really

See some light far away….

I try to swim towards it

It dims and brights

I cry out loud for some more light

At first I felt hopeless

as it felt like nothing happened

Then one really bright

Cross-shaped Morning star appeared.

I felt the glue loosing its grip

Precious blood flowed from the Star

I was brought back to Life

My Redeemer put a rose in my hair

And a sparkle in my eye

- a reflection of His Image.
