MUTHONI

It is the echo of silence
that perturbs the souls of men
for women too must surrender
to the thriving fragrance of success

it is the way of womanity

a heart once cluttered now flowers
the cracks but temporary
healed and sealed

you are a miracle worker
perhaps the finest of them all

should i dwell in memory
of the best 'other'
or embrace the bittersweet
indulgence of new freedoms

i choose not the wanderer
but the calm embrace of the walk i took
into the beckoning tranquility
of uncertain pathways

yet so good to the eyes
we are now forever

the finest of them all
for you
too
are a miracle worker.
