GRASPING NEW By Shantal Kisimba

Dancing to my usual tune of daily chapters

The melody was marvelous

Overtime I realized it was angraved in my skin 

I was so immersed in my daily life that l had this natural glow, happy times 

I had no room to think about "suddenly"

But one day it knocked in front of my door, uninvited 

I opened up, it was there 

Standing before my eyes

My usual tune faded bit by bit 

The only thing that was left was dancing to a new tune

New chapters flipped before my eyes

Sooner or later I had to come to terms 

Hoping that these new chapters had hidden treasure in them

Took a leap of faith and carried on with my life as my entire framework struggled to adjust every step of the way
