Odelekuku
(O-day-lay-coo-coo) perched at one
of her favourite spots, from
where she loved to observe all the comings and goings, of
people criss-crossing the earth’s crust, in search of daily cares.
Odelekuku’s
favourite spot was here, there, and everywhere;
wherever
Odelekuku roosted her frame, transformed into that spot!
"Look for that place where your heart feels safe, and at home;
find
that space that brings peace to your heart, and you’re home!"
Her words….always filled with conviction! Those, and her sagely eyes that saw all, but whose mouth spoke little,
…..unless
and until….!
A
wind from nowhere had broken through the clouds of her morning reverie….
It
was an amazing moment of excitement,
as
exhilaration and elation merged in rapprochement,
buoyed
by the unshackling of once-shackled chains,
nurtured
by the entombment of crucified banes!
A
glorious vision had come like a jolt of thunderbolt propulsion,
thrust
and stoked by a glorious vision that
had surged into her a.m. contemplations.
It
had touched the ground zero of her meditations,
casting
its beacons of revelation,
upon
the roaming of her meditation,
evoking
a refrain from her lips, in description of
the excitement that had visited her morn:
“The
rays of this glorious light,
drenched
my path with their breath;
I
looked up, and saw how their girth,
had
ensnared the once-upon-a-time dark shadows,
that
had cast lots upon life’s joy!
Their
blaze seared through the veil on my face,
disrobing
its covering of blindness;
their
gleams revealed the belly of new paths,
and
beamed even brighter on once-concealed paths!
I
began to see clearly…..now i see clearly,
the
things that should have been, but never were,
because
they couldn’t be;
I
began to see clearly…..now i see clearly,
the
things that should be, but never could be,
because
they wouldn’t be;
I
began to see clearly…..now i see clearly,
the
things that should begin to be,
because
they could be, and should be;
and
because they would be, and will be!
I
followed its rays,
and
the bearing of its way;
my
steps they quickened, even transposed
into
unfettered backflips of delight;
joy
had crept back into my existence,
joy had been rescued from
the dungeons of slander,
that had been built
by the assumptions of the unschooled,
and
the dispositions of the loathsome few,
who bask in strutting like uncircumcised philistines,
disturbing
the pool of joy of the children of promise,
of
the High and Exalted One!
Ah,
blessed joy, always on time!
Riding
on the crest of the vision
that
invaded my thoughts this dawn,
I
welcomed it.... i welcome it!
For,
now i see clearly.... i can see clearly,
the
things that should begin to be,
because
they could be, and should be;
and
because they would be, and will be!”
