Prose in English | Lyrics in Bantu

Beyond the pale stretches of the horizon, outlined in a bold and poetic stanza against the tender bluish backdrop of the heavens, unfolding and seemingly exfoliating and extinguishing the darkness, was the early rising sun. It’s delicate and efficacious presence was affectionate to the sight and it’s saffron luster pervading the entire land with a spectacular religiosity. On the other side of the distant horizons, already nodding towards the mysterious cluster of stars in the yonder was the receding moon. It’s own fading but poignant breath still brushing tenderly against the meandering river, hills, valleys and forest; houses and makeshift shacks. It was a symbolic portraiture of all that was timeless, good and eternal about the world at that moment.
