Beautiful One
Ugonna Wachuku
When silent drums speak;
when silent hearts beat;
when silent birds sing'
I'll listen. I'll be there.
I'll listen because I am
on a journey through life.
I am on a journey through
green hills and valleys.
Through the dark, weary
night, dawn shall meet
me with caring embrace
and soothing smile.
I must walk on; towards
this land of hope and
new love amongst
humankind.
On this inspiring land,
I'll tell uplifting stories
of this journey from
my deep heart.
I'll tell you why the
tortoise has lines
on his hard back.
I'll tell you why
humankind must
love one another.
I'll tell you wonderful
stories for the survival
of humankind and our
enchanting earth
home.
I'll kiss you welcome
and take you to that
lofty land of my being
where dews from
heaven refresh my
day.
I'll make you sweet
smelling egusi soup
with bitter leaf.
You will love it.
And when you are
done, I know you'll
ask me: "Where is
the beautiful one?"
I'll gladly say to you:
Here is the
beautiful one
because you
are

Ugonna,
"Through silence those who can hear are those who are gifted". Your poem "Beautiful One" is another great poem. Cheers.
Wow. You're such a talented writer. It's amazing how your spirituality is set free with your writing. I hope you never stop expressing yourself this way. I know I'd love to be able to read more.

Dear Ugonna On the Journey through Life and Beyond, the Silence speaks with a sweet timbre. I listen with you: I follow the beat of the drum, the heart, the birds, the Path. It is the beat of LOVE; of Beauty; of Truth. Thank you for translating this sound into musical words. Love Myra
A beautiful poem that reaches the heart and touches the soul...you are a gifted writer ...now I really value the critiques you gave me ...thankyou
Ugonna, you, are a beautiful one. You carry a message which transcends all religious boundaries and soar straight into the deepest crevas of the human soul who thrists for comfort.
