PATHS OF THE EVENING STAR- POETRY BY TONY TOKUNBO ETEKA FERNANDEZ – PUBLISHED WRITER AND POET

Paths of the evening star

 

 

The Evening closed its eyes

Darkness stood in silence

Ascending on its prey with some thoughts of chess

Scents of heat provoked the wind

Creating the threats of colourful icons

Grey shadows in Silver cloaks

Ran through forests of green

And wondered round lakes

Searching in childlike hesitation

 

And then it all happened to quickly

Fire lost its place with water

Curiosity became jealous of wisdom

The night seemed to struggle with the day

And the world began to change

And whilst we were still dreaming

The evening closed its eyes.

A TIME TO BREATHE- POETRY BY PUBLISHED WRITER AND POET- TONY TOKUNBO FERNANDEZ

Image

 

 

There is a time to breathe without rushing

To detach the mind from a million thoughts

And reside in a sacred emptiness

To swim in a river of rich waters

Sipping the beauty of existence

Knowing “What will be will be”

But having faith through the Journey

 

There is a time to be quiet and be grateful

To reset the mind to a golden beach

And float through the shores of silence

To listen to the trees and its ancient music

Embracing the wisdom of the orange sky

As time builds with beauty

We rest our spirits upon the valley of Life

Breathing slowly and reaching for peace

One Moment of Peace

 

 

 

Every substance is intact

Living through a sequence of peace

Every movement captured

By the raw feelings of self-assurance

 

I am as calm as the stream

Blessed with beauty and still waters

I shall breathe like a King

Despite the mystery from the grey storm

And trace the pictures of my dreams.

 

Every seed is intact

Bones that have felt many places

Coloured with stories untold

Freedom is a home and not a prison

With many more songs and voices

Every substance…

Every Moment…

And if you listen carefully

One Moment of Peace
