It’s Coming Home

[CUT Poetry Association]

Written by Nduvho Mukhavhuli

Like a longing heart;

burning with passion—

Missing home.

It’s heading your way;

like a warm home…

Sitting—awaiting its arrival,

all in it with warm bundles of happiness…

Knowing it’s coming home—

Rest assured it’s coming your way.

This mystery that I speak of:

drove fighters to fight,

Heroes to hold on; when all was lost…

It’s what drives man

To take action…to stand up

It’s what summons up courage;

Giving Peace to the Peace-less,

Joy to the sad

and endless Pleasure

to the tormented.

This thing I talk of is ‘hope.’

It’s the bringer of:

All things good,

All things sweet and

All things joyous

Hope brings all things HOME.
