Lost in Red

January 15, 2018

01.
Sat in the spiritual place on a Friday
After checking your availability
You are busy at home
I entered the place.
You too joined me in the line of Prayers shoulder by shoulder with others
I smiled at me
Not sure others could see you
Albeit, you too have spiritual needs
We joined the Prayer…!

02.
Inside the holy place,
A little boy running here and there depicting the joy of us
Not caring his father few steps spiritual away from him
With white ♥Jalabiya covered head.
White, everywhere inside white.
From the left door, a young man entered
Wearing red t-shirt written front side of it ‘LOST’.
What does it convey to me..?
For others, it is just letters in a pure cloth;
For me, does it mean anything…..?
LOST-front side, red….!

03.
Last year, this is how I lost myself,
And interpreting my ‘journey’ to a different world with you
And the scene of talking to a singing bird came between Morning Prayer and sunrise bringing to me with much good news;
With the bunch of smiling flowers in my front home garden in Nigeria…!
In the past,
A similar channel of communication we had.
What does it mean, now?
Do I grasp your message..!
