PRIZED JEWEL BY PEN-ACE

Prized Jewel

Bubbles of beauty dance before my eyes

To the speechless songs my silence steals

The life I have is a prized jewel

Tis  the harmonious tune I hum to

It's rhythm of strings and gongs calls

Can you hear?

It rings a bell

I want to climb it's dense branches

Suckle off its bounteous fruits

I want to drink from it's lush leaves

Relishing it's healing tonic

A feast and banquet it sets before me

Slathered with milk, wine and honey

My tummy growls like  wroth winds

Death is dead and nisus is not his friend

So I'll yield to the winds and let it glide me

To the edge of earth

Where life's insane

To the edge of earth

Where breathing is free

My crazy yells enough of being cozy

It shows me mountains beckoning for caress

To behold the hills in their lonely longings

To see the seas swiveling with seductive elegance

Even the valleys arrayed like maidens waiting to be wooed

How can I then squander such sweet a life in slothfulness?

I forbade me to meddle in mediocrity and misery

Death is boring enough, I shall let life amuse me

# FICTION # SURVIVAL ========== “I can’t just stand here and watch you die,” Nkechi said, her voice laced with deep emotions. “I must go and find help.” There on the floor, in the small hut, was her dying mother, shivering. She had been like this some days now, but now it seemed to be getting worse. The lamp that sat at the center of the hut, lighted the room poorly, but was enough to make the beads of silvery sweat on her mother’s face shimmered. “My daughter!” her mother called, her voice lowering into something like a whisper. “What kind of help do you mean?” Ever since her father died mysteriously, she and her mother had lived like strangers in the village. People heard and believed a lot of lies about them. Some believed that her mother had used her witchcraft on her father, while some believed that the gods of their land had placed a curse on them. There were recent cases of goat disappearances at the time and the Chief priest with the consent of the King had placed a cur...
