Silent, still; at completely full draw--I find her tucked in the brambles.
Wild, bushy-tailed; aglow with ineptness--she grazes the lush, green grass.
I focus--using my dominant eye. The weight of the bow on my finger--like wind.
(And that's when I sense you--my eye catches yours.)
"Hello, dear friend," I whisper--though I wonder...are we truly friends?
(Alas, our kismets connect here.)
Here--among the sighs of the trees--where sunlight dances between spaces of secret, untrodden pathways...we're two predatory queens; one prey.
And,
as you drag her into your labyrinth--here--among the sighs of the trees...my stomach stays empty, though...
✨my heart becomes full.✨

Phoenix and Obsidian Part 1
Gerala knelt underneath the hollow shell of a sevanda tree, under the baking sun. Here in the desert, at mid day, there was nothing to see - except the shadow of two hopeful vultures circling high above. Well, they can wait a while more, she thought. I can do this.....

The Secrets that Echoed through Lagos.
The bustling streets of Lagos hummed with life as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an amber glow upon the cobbled pathways. Amidst the vibrant tapestry of the city, young Hannah, a mere fourteen years of age, traversed the labyrinthine alleys, her footsteps cloaked in a veil of uncertainty. Her countenance, once adorned with the innocence of youth, now bore the weight of a hidden burden.

An African survival story
What is construed as glamourous in our everyday lives? Is it the perfect photograph splashed atop a story. Or is it the content written within the story. The poignant and true pictures of the real lives of a people who struggle for existence, the people whom we cannot begin to comprehend their daily battles for survival. A simple life of relative comfort to some, would seem like a kings palace and a banquet feast to many of our brothers and sisters around the world. Some who have to fight so hard for the providing of a few morsels for their daily bread.
