A poem by Omara Olok
Gratuitous and moves swiftly,
Failure is not an option when the heart beats gently
First breath drawn, palms nervous
Nothing near perfect or what’s deserving
State the obvious through a message or note
On the fridge, she looks
Smiles, then copes
Peer evaluation, girl to girl gossip
Thought ahead and ready, behavior of a prophet
Doesn’t matter the bad, doesn’t matter the good
To rise above the situation, that I knew you could
Walk down the road, the path narrow
Between the lines, above one sees two sparrows
Back on Earth, in front of her is the partner
Hand out, gesture
Ready for departure
Grin so large, you could frame it by picture
Fast forward, the children come, asking about dinner
Pressures through time, widened
Gaps can be closed
Days when he and she were reckless, before the propose
Love is sew and stitched, quilted blankets on the sofa
Patterns of hearts reach euphoria
Distant applauses from the crowd
Here now, and Forever
