When beauty no longer misleads us
When our bodies no longer separate us
When our achievements are forgotten
When all our mistakes have softened
When talking is no longer a commodity
When love abandons physical currency
When you have been there all along.

Beautiful, Nomzi. Reading your poem prompted this response
Peel away all
Layer by layer
strip the bare
the peripherals
to the till of the core!
Can you hear the core hum
Do you feel the peal of the core
in the still of new time
– if yes, then it was worth it!
