The Power of Life by Emma Akuffo

Self-reliance
bears no resemblance
to love鈥檚 ambitions
creates the wrong ambience
stumbles and hinders
tarnishes with rust
love鈥檚 glorious shine
halting life鈥檚 power
stemming its flow
stoppering the life source
from which love grows
The power of life
is only realised
fully utilised
when love rises
and shines in Life鈥檚 eyes
