*NATURE OF LIFE* by Makaziwe Gotyana & Asisipho Mbikeni.



Walking in the air, stepping to the wind.

Should I compare thee like flying?

Broken glass is better than broken soul.

Catch my breath to breathe the air outside.

Beautiful as calm as the waters from my heart.

Why everything is no longer the same?

Are we the same soul we claim to be?

Tendering as the love we are looking for.

Sometimes we flying with no wings but with dreams.

Sometimes we broken, always come with a lot of reasons.



Always a lot of reasons to make us stay calm.

Like when anger in soul keep burning all the trust of anything.

Fuelling by the pain and consuming all the innocent dreams

Like trees to find the source of sunlight to green all my days.

Lots of things pull down but I chose to raise like the phoenix

From the ashes.

Fly your hopes and rise from spirit back to life.

Ashes of something from something beautiful I dream about.

Perhaps the ashes of that special life made for a day.

For fertilizing soul full of hope and growth remains the new life.



Lots of reasons to fall but, I must have grown toward light

Maybe an alight my soul from the dark that rose

One day I will be strong to face my demons but,

I need to face my harsh weathers to conquer.

I can fly when my spirit is in my wings.
