As I Travel Here


Photo Credit: flickr
As I travel here,
My feet will grow weary sometimes

As I travel here,
My head will be stuffed sometimes

As I travel here,
The incessant drone will fill my ears

But
I remain a pilgrim.

I have been to this road before,
My ancestors shook this dust before

They looked up to the Sun,
“Kong’asis”, they named the East

Their feet was bruised by rocks,
Yet they climbed treacherous hills and mountains

There is music in my ears,
There is fresh air filling my lungs

As I travel here,
I see distant homesteads beyond the hills

I will set forth
I will tighten my akala shoes

As I travel here,
I know the destination

As I travel here,
My heart is full of joy of this sojourn


Poem shared with Real Toads.
