igubu des iindida
oko kuyayithuthuzela ingozi
ukushukuma
kwi-destiny ixesha elide .
Ubukho
ngebhaqo kwenzeka
imini enkulu umoya apho ubuhlangene khona
samngqonga
ndawachitha amanzi ukukhazimla
isithambiso
kunye nemifuno engcwele
kwi ukulungelelaniswa kwemishini
ukuba kwafuneka senze thetha
yothando kunye yokubaluleka okuxutyiweyo
ukuthunga i izilonda
kwaye umise isikafula .
Iqhinga elikrelekrele le isandla
ukwazi ngakumbi cinga ngokufika kwemvula
njengoko kwenzekile
isivuno se ngomso
kunokulinda
engashukumiyo
la kumila kumbi .
