Be a unicorn, be a rebel

24 Sep

Any girl can be a rebel nowadays
In a suit like wonderwoman, swinging
round the world in planes, buses, race cars
Just like every other super hero
She can pursue her dreams, like
no time before
by playing it rough, by standing her ground
by chasing goals with roaring laughter
by being the first and one and only

But what if, she will be a rebel of
loving kindness, of gentleness, of tranquility
of equanimity
What if her hands’ touch
soften any thing
into vulnerability?
With the quiet ease
of the fairytale unicorn
convincing us to trust
what you feel is real

What if her ten fingers, and ten toes
never skip the opportunity
to provide connection
and tap into your fear for
inner strength?

What if she dances
like a whirlwind through life?

What if this girl,
a true rebel
is you?

I wish I knew before

what I know now

I wish I saw yesterday

what I viewed today

I wish I could reverse past mistakes

to set current records straight

I wish I could see beyond the horizon

to see my dreams unfold

I wish I could predict

what my future path will be

But what would be left to say

when I take my spirit to experience away?

Fatoumata is your sister

Mohamed is your name

The origin beyond the border

Into the kingdom of Diawara, Keita, Kouyaté and Traoré

The old Mandinka warriors

 

Fatoumata is your sister

Mohamed is your name

Adventure calling you across

stepping into the fearless footsteps of Sunjata

as a modern Mandinka warrior

 

Each time a chance

To swirl into a new life

and bring back home

The prosperous and peaceful dream

for Sweet Salone

16 Sep

Floating between the hands of time

The dance of decisions

running around an urban mind

Loving life

Living laughter

A sudden stop

 

Silence

Balance and resuscitate

the dreams

that drive your hands of time

To build, design, connect

transform your own environment

into the loopholes of possibility

All settled in universal tranquility
