Gist Of Life

Pï3©3 2022 (Kaduna)



Dear You,

I see a journey ahead miles and miles
A picture I paint of visioned smiles
As I take each step into a new path
A footprint I leave as door to a past
A trail I leave but can't take back
An eerie feeling of choices I must embark
Me left confused at choices
Wary thoughts of ying yang voices
There I stand looking at the heavens
No clear answer from my safe haven
I look around for a guide
And see silhouettes also lost by the side
But tick tock says the time
And a move I must with no crime
I'd leave a print of a whole life
And finally part with no dime.
Just a gist of a spec in life
A story from knowledge of mine


Yours storied,
Pï3©3
