Courage by Ambrose Nzeyimana

COURAGE

She is unbeatable
She who died several times
But didn’t fade away with time
She resuscitated all those times

Responding to a higher call
She couldn’t let it go
She couldn’t resist
The beauty of being
There for others
More needy than she was

She decided to be with them
Starting by honouring the dead
A crime she could die for
Ready for it when it would come

She would’ve lived a worthy life
Those left behind
Following in her footsteps
Keeping alive the flame
That’s the only worthy life

A life of courage
At the service of others

By Ambrose Nzeyimana

Surrender by Ambrose

Stretched at the limit
Breathless in the air
Coming to term
Weakening
Close to surrender

Knowing your opponent
Cracking the mind game
Momentarily let it go
Tactfully
Choosing to surrender

With sophisticated weaponry
Not invited to the battlefield
Chasing imaginary enemies
At the end
Forced to surrender

Not by virtue
Submitting to the best
Neither a sign of weakness
Only by love
Convenient to surrender

Like a river on its course
Obstacles on its path
Flexible all the way
Winning
Ignoring to surrender

That irresistible smile
From the world’s child
In shared destiny
Falling for it
Never to surrender

Dream by Ambrose

Dream
by Ambrose Nzeyimana

Out of space standing
Out of time evolving
Out of mind drifting
Travelling
Exploring

Dreaming still
Yes alive while breathing
Out of prisons taken
Out of body running away
Out in nowhere ending

Hoping the impossible
Thinking of the occurrence
Doing the unthinkable
Addressing adversity
Out of actuality

New world navigating
Beginning customisation
Achieving unexpectedly
Challenging known beliefs
Passing on the flag

Dreaming of life
Living at last
Dreaming while living
Living the dream
As a way of life

A person who cannot dream is dead. If someone took away your ability to dream, this would be the cruelest attempt to your life. Dreaming is about our imagination navigating consciously or unconsciously in the known and/or unknown/ mysterious world.
