It’s the middle of a French winter, Yet it doesn’t feel that cold at all! Below ambient but no sub-zero climate, Grey skies giving way to a bright day, As I began my early morning commute, Driving past the most magnificent terrain, Through hectares of desolate farmland, Only filled by mediterranean gull flocks, Amazingly white in the chilling mist, A few horses stood still in the meadow, Seemingly not knowing…
It was time I exit that caring womb, Overly warm for my thick skin, Far too comfortable for my liking, Way restrictive for my large imagination, Months of captivity for my curious mind, A little cry of joy signalled my arrival, Left to my own ways as I began to crawl, Once I grew heavy for that soaring eagle? I was left to roam the whole nine yards, Knowing the…
Takaifira, nyika ndeyeropa! Repfuti, zvikara, zvirwere nenzara, Kutanga ticharohwa nevapambepfumi, Zvichinzi ndiwe mujibha nachimbwido, Mupepeti wenhau nemutakuri wesoko, Mubatsiri wegandanga nemubiki wesadza, Murairidzi nemupembedzi wehondo, Kutamba pungwe, morari pasina mabori, Shamhu yorwadza kusvika tati tinofirei? Mbune mhiri isu tozviyambukira, Zvaisave nyore kana nepadiki pose, Nzizi dzizere makarwe nemasango anorura, Yonaya dzvotsvotsvo togura matunhu, Kune mhute’bva todenha muwengi, Zvirokwazvo, kurarama semakudo! Kutamanda, kukwira gomo nedumbu, Wodzika mawere nemagaro, Kungoti pudzu, ndipo…

If it weren’t heartaches and pain? It’s only been ordinary for many, As this year comes to a hasty close, For there is never enough time! Behold, don’t dwell on past failures, Dust yourselves off, step forward, And welcome the year that dawns, Rife with hope and opportunities, Another precious chance on offer, To right the wrongs of yesteryear, All the brothers around the world, From north to south, east…
Chiiko chandirovesa hana? Paanongoti nepadivi nzwe-e, Kundishaisa zororo kana hope, Zvinorema pamoyo kuzvireva, Kune iye muridzi wenyaya. Zvangu zvinenge zvoda kuita, Dzvoko, kwandiri ziso apotsera, Kubva ini ndoshaya pokuringa, Ndikati mudenga, rutivi, pasi, Rangu zita ndatadza kuridaira! Zvatanga zviri zvinyoronyoro, Muviri kuita kutsvanzvadzirwa, Achinditsvoda nemoyo unoda, Kundirezva, kubatwa sezai regondo, Ndovana chose chandati kotso! Bva pindu zvarave ganyabvu! Chiriporipotyo zvave zvehasha, Pese, kwave kungopfanya-pfanya, Pfungwa dziye dzadambuka! Woshaya kuti zvimbori…
Kana ndisati ndakuziva? Nguva kure gochaimatehwe, Pedyo neni waingowepo, Waiva muvakidzani wangu, Kugarisana nekudyidzana, Karekare makore tichifara, Kusuduruka ndakatadza, Nyamatsatse ndokucheka, Ini pepu, mudikani wangu, Ndiro ruva randasarudza! Gonhi wakandizarurira, Nemoyo unoda ukandipa, Hadyana ndokuinambura, Zvigunwe ndikananzvira, Mukombe ini gudu-gudu, Matunhu tose takagura, Ndekupi kwatisakasvika? Ingori tsika nditsikewo, Nhengure ndipe bapiro, Kumakore tikabhururuka, Chitundumuseremusere! Ipo pedyo nenyeredzi. Padiki nepadiki takasiya, Vabereki pamwe nevedzinza, Kugadzira vedu mudungwe, Takafunda kubva kuvakuru, Kuriritira…

Usashushikana zvako hama, Nekudzika-dzika kuzvitsvaga, Hazvina kana zvazvinoreva, Nyakuzvireva akatozvikanganwa, Kupfuura achikuturikira mhepo, Kukukandira mweya wetsvina, Yave mhezi pakati pewako moyo, Pfungwa hadzichaoni mangwana, Dzakusunga ndare, kukuchemedza, Wotadza nekupfakanyika kwose, Iye pano akuita garandichauya, Iwe tende, kugarira guyo sembwa, Kucheuka-cheuka uchiti ati pfacha, Kwaari arikutopembera zvake, Kudya namambo achipfachura, Achironga hwake, kuenda mberi, Akoshiwa akasiya akufurusa, Kwaingove kuda kukurwadzisa, Kudzorera zvawakataura zurori, Hauzivi zvinoita muridzi wesando? Anoona chese-chese sechipikiri! Ndiko…
