Voices from the inside

Natalie Dudzai

THERE are layers of incomprehensible imagination,

where only the pencil can speak,

but the mouth stays closed — with vows underestimated,

and promises yet to be achieved.

With love, power can be harnessed;

with courage, battles are conquered.

It all begins from the inside.

And when poets say it loud;

they give hope to the faint-hearted;

they are a source of courage to society.

With a creative mindset,

the poet binds people together;

with wisdom, the world could be healed.
