Brooks to You
Ugonna Wachuku
You did not leave those birds all
alone on the pathway. You did
plant flowers and dimples on lush
gardens of glow and smiles.
You gladly did walk to that
bright blushing beat from the
enchanting eagle's empowering
humble heartbeat heartily
druming itself to you on
welcoming lush landscapes
of home.
You did smile on those birds
yearning for bounties in your
inspiring being on enriching
green bush paths of home
scented with sweet smelling
roasting corn and pears.
For the rejuvenating first
time, you walked with weary
waterfalls and whispering winds
to living love unbound; to new
uplifting soulful strength in
handsome heaven's heart.
You left the land blooming with
rain and rainbow. You walked to
the eagle clad in your brilliant
blue cloud. You cultivated the
land for heaven's enriching
harvest from the earth's
welcoming womb.
Yet, you did not leave those
brilliant birds and little me
to wallow in pain and longing
anguish through a heart
wounded at story time.
You gave most of your
peaceful soul made whole
by merciful, glorious grace:
So, let me send these abundant
brooks to you. Let me send this
mountain-faith moonbrook lush
to you. Let me see the soothing
stream you gave humankind!
Being nature's humble child,
let me send these peaceful
brooks of my heart to you.
Let me send you heaven's
natural nimbus clothed
with fragrant flowers
and refreshing streams.
Please, just let me send
these bountiful brooks to
soulfully beautiful you on
green pastures abiding!
more beautiful as a tribute
more beautiful as a tribute to a loved one... than the Taj Mahal

Ugonna,
I walk through your valley, stir at the clouds, as the blooms all around are smiling. The wind whispers pass me leaving messages of love and strength. This is what you do for me. You are a disciple that I can see, touch, and listen to, though we are miles apart. Through your words you are always with me. Love and peace, Linda
Will you let me bathe in the bountiful brook of your heart?
You simply baptize me with the flowing waters of your soul Ugonna.
The visuals of your writings tease my inner eye with, I wish, I wish, I wish.....
this poem will soar among the clouds for years to come, it will fly in my heart for many seasons
encore encore
When I read the words you write, I see the verdant valleys and spires of snow-clad peaks. I hear the animals just out of sight in the bush and feel the breeze sweep my skin. I realize that most of your work is allegory of a spiritual kind, but it surpasses the norm in that those who do not believe as you believe, can still read it with partial understanding and a sense of a well-spent few minutes. This is lovely and I appreciate your work.
