Poetry to Inspire You
Exuberance Ignites
the sharing of joy
a powerful deliverance
the audience was asked
“does anyone have a Halloween joke?”
and there from the stands
too small to see
a child’s voice rang out
clearly with glee
“i do!”
no encouragement needed
the two-liner was shared
and the laughter was immediate
delighting in the child’s excitement
what a gift to the evening
so simple, unrehearsed
a solo performance
a star-burst of exuberance

Cameroon
peace – work – fatherland
the colours and message
of the Republic of Cameroon
their flag and their coat of arms
why has Cameroon arrived to be shared
it is a jewel from the heart of Africa
known for its football, its diversity, its beauty
hidden from the chaos that surrounds it
please look up and read
it has a message to heed
from the pain of its past
it has anchored and cast
a way of life
a preservation
of what is important

Out of Nowhere
out of nowhere
the truth can arrive
out of nowhere
our fears can subside
the beauty, the grace
of the whole human race
is ours to behold
