QUESTIONS OF THE SOUL poem by Thobs the Zulu Queen

THE SOUL Question

what is the meaning of life?

I figure life is self-discovery

to reach the well of self-knowledge

zazi

because even when you are loved surrounded by people who care for you

you're still lonely...

for there are matters of the heart that no one can help you with ...except yourself...

So I take a step back to observe me ...removing all the cobwebs of fear removing cobwebs of pain ,frustration ,anger and confusion about life and intention and I find myself in the gate of content where I step in calmly with a pounding heart ,here I learn there is peace within war and there is love within hate so I remove the cloaks of pretence, intimidation, lust, confusion and frustration

that life has revealed

and I stand naked before my fears and worries

before my hopes and dreams…

I stared at my reality in the face and the soul answered

such is life...live.

what is it that we  really fear?

is it the fear of the silence that surrounds us that exposes  our own thoughts so loud like morning birds outside your window

or is it the fear of doors in the heart shut for a long long time but the hinges are cracking threatening to burst open...

what is it that we we fear

do we fear that yes we have walked and l lived

and are now steadily reaping our fruits..

to have to eat our words bitter or sweet. for we spoke

we confirmed

that yes we will not tire fighting for human rights

we will not tire seeking and becoming our identity

we will not let go of our dreams

what is it that we fear do we fear our lack of faith in the capabilities of those that brought  us this far...do we fear hunger nakedness or the lack of material

or do we fear that day by day we become closer to the power of being,just being your self

even when they judge you unfairly

just be yourself

Even when they give you false smiles and shaky hugs of uncertainty

just be yourself… wat a ting

what is it that we fear

do we fear that our dreams may not materialize. just because those before us tried

the system dissed and dismissed them

we give our hearts half heatedly to art..

no man it's not an excuse

what is it that we fear?
