Faith
Blue Waterfalls
Ugonna Wachuku
Slowly, whistling winds and waves
embrace my soul on this voyage to
new reality.
Like a river, I follow my course
through beckoning landscapes and
simple seas.
Through moonlit forests of home
and beauty, I walk to the beat
from nature's heart.
There is silence in the air.
There is a song in my heart.
There is unfolding desire to
be all that I must be to you
and to humanity.
Down river roads and pathways,
I follow your footprints to
mountain tops where bald eagles
teach eaglets the mystery of
calmly soaring through life.
From high grounds and moving
landscapes on peaceful sea shores
hidden within you, the story unfolds.
From mountain tops of glory and
beauty, you call me to fish and
dine with caring angels.
There will be yet
another voyage.
When, finally, we arrive at those
headwaters, there will be blue
waterfalls and glad dolphins to
welcome you and me.
These blue waterfalls will be
our compass for the journey
ahead. Smiles and songs will
flower us to bountiful life.
Waterfalls of blue will define
our love for humanity!
And when I meet the coming,
new morning of hope and inspiration,
I will shed tears because your loving
blue waterfalls will be
my caring companion
for life!

A most beautiful piece of poetry. I sense the underlying tones of simplicity with a vivid journey to a long lost part of what was once common to all the peoples of this earth. A small touch of paradise. Flows well and tells a story that nature has been telling us for generations. I am very impressed and will be reading more of your works. I feel that you have a natural talent in telling us what to look for in our daily lives. A piece well away from the humdrums of normality. Thank you for sharing. bern

This poem is absolutely beautiful. You walk me through this journey while making my emotions raw with love, curiously, wonder. I felt as though I was away from today and stepping into a clensing when I let go of dirty thoughts, feelings, notions to be be more than cleansed, but freed. If that wasn't enough you let me have one person to go along with me. I loved to have the allowance of company because it allowed me to share myself and a world to love. Thanks for the wonderful read.

Let Me Be
Ugonna Wachuku
Let me be gone
now ... Silence!
Silence of the
grave ...
Life on this
enchanting
earth home!
Humankind with
heartless homes:
Fading moments of my
awakening...
I walk through unknown
pathways and river banks.
The mind in me is still;
yet wandering through
uncharted landscapes
and meadow sea shores.
This new day, I stare into
the clouds, hoping, wishing,
wondering if you'll let me be.
At night, I watch your stars
and moon; waiting, hoping.
Fading moments of my
awakening...
My journey has been a long
one. I have waited so long
in the eyes of human
recokoning.
I really keep wondering
whether you'll let me be.
Fading moments of my
yawning awakening...
My soul is heavy ladden.
My spirit reaches out;
searching to find some
meaning to this desolation
on flourishing farmlands
of abundance and beauty.
Will you finally let me be
who or what I am meant to be?
Because, now, this day, there
is a joyful pain in my soul.
Will I be? Will I be?
Good Lord, I am still
waiting on you; while
still striving, asking,
seeking, knocking on
heaven's door of your
deeply compassionate
heart. I am hopefully
still waiting: "do not
pass me by!"
Let me not be weary.
Let me soar and mount
on wonderful wings like
your eagle of my essence.
Just let me be who I am
created to be, abidingly:
I humbly plead!
Humankind with
heartless homes:
Fading moments of my
yawning awakening...
My soul is heavy ladden.
"Do not pass me by."
Give me your
mustard seed
faith. Let me
not be weary.
Let me go
home now
into your
goodness
for there
is
s
i

All of Me
Ugonna Wachuku
The sea is so silent
on distant horizons.
Heart-beats tell stories
of love and parting.
Like whistling waterfalls,
I follow your path in nature.
I follow the dream of your
disarming beauty.
I follow the welcoming
road to your deep inspiration.
And in your emerald eyes, life
is born anew for humanity and
for little me.
Now, I am back to the
pathway; back to those
sweet dreams you hold
for me in your soul.
So, when I tell you
stories from my caring
soul, do not wait, take
these stories within you
and remember that whatever
you do, I'll always love you.
Remember all of me
even when I am gone
because just one day,
I'll surely go the
way of all mankind.
Remember all of me,
if you will, even
when I am gone.
And indeed, in your
enrapturing
emerald
eyes,
life
will
be
born
anew
for
humanity
and
for
l
i
t
t
l
e
me.

All Of Me was also the title of a song my father used to sing, from
the fifties, I think. (Don't take my word for that). But that is why I
clicked on the poem from your index. I love these two lines: I
follow your path in nature. I follow the dream of your disarming
beauty. Very interesting to read and interpret in several ways.

Dear Ugonna An evening spent in your poetic presence ... So many
stories to tell; so many songs to sing. Life is forever Arrival and
Depature. Dreams are universal breathing: the inhalation of
everlasting yearning. Ah, to follow the Path, reaching at last
distant, evasive horizons! Myra Sun

What a wonderfull poem. Men, you're great! You know what, you made me
remember the time I was in college(Brazil), I made friends to the
eternity and for a moment I was traveling on the time and felt between
then again. We had a good time together, we enjoyed the nature there,
every single act, every single word. This is a kind of love, when you
find friends and can count on them, you found a treasure. And your
poem made me live my precious moment again. Thank you for be an
inspired poet! Keep going, you're on the right way! See ya!
