VISION

Original Submission by PRINCE LEHLOGONOLO TLEANE

VISION

It is a strange realisation- that life is not only

about gaining

all that we desire,

but about speaking

of what has already been done.

For testimony

outshines treasures-

richer than jewels,

heavier than gold-

because within it

lives wisdom.

Through testimony,

we begin to see-

not with the eyes,

but with understanding- the greatness

of the One

who guides all things.

So do not lean

only on His patience,

but on the depth

of His truth,

the quiet strength

of His wisdom.

For the things of this world will fall-

returning to dust

as they always do.

But the soul-

the true self-

will rise

to the place

it has prepared.

And know this:

no weapon

can silence

what truly lives.

A bullet may break the body, but it cannot touch

the being within-

it only separates

life

from bone.
