FOR YOU By Ozioma Ogbaji

You are a beautiful star.
Like Sirius on a starry night,
You gloriously shine so bright
And can be seen from afar

You are brave, you are strong
You are wise, though sometimes wrong
You are different, uniquely you
For there is no other quite like you

Your mind, your pride
Your eyes, your stride;
And more, make you YOU
I hope you accept all of you

And as you discover yourself everyday
May you come out beautiful like polished clay
I hope you see what I see in you
For it means nothing if you cannot see it too

WHERE IS THE GLIMPSE I By Esther Esuga

Standing out the thatched hut

I see the seamless closure of the windows

The gloom that I smell is very intense

And I also feel the zero percentage of chance staring at me bluntly

I hear the silent sobbing of the helpless walking down and stilling my nerves

At this point, I am bereft of all form of wisdom and understanding

What can I possibly say to make these ones ever feel elated?

I  say to them just hang on, soon...

And they say we have heard that before.

Then, I THOUGHT TO SAY YOU KNOW LIFE IS IN PHASES...

And THEY SAY even that too

It's not a breaking news

Something new walked on the platform of my thoughts

Happy I was to bring this...

Then I said it can only get better ...

They all cut in and asked 

WHERE IS THE GLIMPSE ?
