Expat


Neem my weg op hierdie vlug
maar bring my voete weer terug
plant hul dan weer in die sand
van my geliefde vadersland.

Hierdie vlug is onvermydelik
maar maak dit asseblief net tydelik
Gee dat ek nie vir altyd deur
my rug op my volk en land sal keer.

Ek vlug van geweld en misverstand
ek vlug van 'n nasie wat met haat brand
ek vlug van onmin, onreg en kwaad,
sake wat my die land laat verlaat.

Tog bly daar 'n hunkering in my siel
na die Karoo-sonbesie se dansende riel
na die platgekamde kruin van Tafelberg,
na die Vrystaatgrond wat reën van God verg.

Ek verlang na die lug wat bo my uitstrek
sonder maat, sonder grens, geheel onbeperk
Ek verlang na mielies, skaapstert en vetkoek
na dinge wat ek verniet in 'n ander land soek.

Gee my my 'n land sonder grense of perk,
gee my 'n land waarin ek kan werk,
gee terug my menswees, sorgeloos vry,
gee my 'n land waar ek veilig kan bly.

Berigte van moord, verkragting en haat
veroorsaak dat ek hierdie land nou verlaat,
maar ek bly hoop om eendag terug te kan kom
na 'n veranderde, vreedsame mensdom.

The greatest gift


God did not send His Son wrapped with a bow
to announce the greatest gift on man bestowed.
Instead, He came in flesh that could bleed
a river of blood that to God would lead.
This Child of God, the Son of Man
has done what none other ever can
when He restored the creature to its God
to save us from hell’s eternal rod.
Our sins He simply wiped away
in blood that would forever stay
to cleanse mankind before the King,
an eternal love-filled offering.
Then He healed our broken state
before ordering us a while to wait,
for the greatest gift was yet to be,
descending in flames the eye could see.
The Holy Spirit came from above
to abide in us in gracious love
so that we could show the world the face
of mercy, compassion, forgiveness, grace.
In my mirror, I stare at what is reflected
to look for a sign that God is detected,
but oh! how I still fall short and fail
of the image of the One pierced by a nail.
And so, anew, my life I bring
as a living, subjected offering
to a God Who is ever and easily pleased
and Whose grace, through the ages, has never ceased.

Die blokman op Wattpad


Ek het nie veel geluk gehad met terugvoer na die publikasie van my eerste kortverhaal op Wattpad nie, maar ek is nog vol moed dat my vriende wel op versoek sal reageer. Daarom waag ek myself 'n tweede keer op hierdie onbekende terrein, met die publikasie van 'n tweede kortverhaal, getiteld Die Blokman. Hierdie is 'n kortverhaal met 'n wetenskapfiksie tema. Laat my asb. weet hoe julle die opsie van Wattpad ervaar as 'n leesplatform. Hier is die skakel na die verhaal.

Die pas van afskeid


Sal hierdie dag se sonnestraal
jou beeld uit my gedagtes haal,
of sal die sagtheid van die maan
herinneringe kan laat taan?

Ek noop my hart om te vergeet,
dwing my kop na beter weet,
maar beide kop en hart se mag
hou hul doof vir my wilskrag.

Afsny, doodmaak en uitwis,
het met oombliklikheid vergis.
Party goed loop teen eie spoed
al beur jy ook al hoe verwoed.

So het afskied ook sy eie tyd
en die pas daarvan is onvermyd
Dit baat nie om jou te verset
teen 'n selfopgemaakte bed.

The photographer


Click! Click! Open, closed
the image to the light exposed
the image caught for eternity,
exposed for all who’d like to see.
Yet what you see, is not what I did -
You see a world under a lid
perfectly composed and staged
cropped, adjusted, as if caged.
I got to see the world expand
the sky unbridled over land,
I got to see the birds in flight,
I got to see the ocean’s might.
I witnessed love and joy and pain
I can testify to loss and gain
I saw that there was more to life
than mere existence without strife.
I went in search of life and found
the source where faith and hope abound.
With one foot in front of another,
the stranger’s face became that of a brother.
Click! Click! The moment is captured
but all those moments have my heart enraptured.

Sewe Sakke Sout


Wie ken my in my lewensleed
wat seerkry nie gerieflik vergeet
maar gister se onthou vas kan kyk
met oë wat nie van pyn wegwyk?

Die meeste skuifel in hul ongemak,
wil my gesprek van pyn vertak,
maar ek het nodig om nog hier te bly,
om te weet jy weet, dat ek seerkry.

As jy my in my seerplek kan ontmoet
sonder om weg te skram van sielebloed,
dan kan ek jou dalk begin vertrou
en glo dat jy van my geheel-mens hou.

Hierdie vlees bestaan nie net uit lag
met hoop dat als wat mooi is wag,
diè mens kan ook na binne kneus,
besef dat slegte dinge ook sal wees.

So, as jy op my lewenspad wil loop
moet jy verstaan van geloof en hoop
wat verby vandag se seer kan kyk
en glo dat dinge weer gesond sal lyk.

Tog moet jy nie vandag se seer misken
deur die lewe se goeie kant verwen,
maar vind my hier in hierdie dag,
want wie weet wat môre op ons wag?

Die dag toe Mike die lemoene afgelaai het op Wattpad


Ek eksperimenteer bietjie met alternatiewe maniere om te publiseer. Ek's bietjie laat om op die bus te klim, maar ek het pas een van my kortverhale op Wattpad gepubliseer. Hieridie is 'n proeflopie om te toets hoe dit werk en hoe toeganklik dit is vir mense wat nie Wattpad gebruikers is nie, ens. Ek sal julle terugvoer waardeer.

Stiltetyd


My Vader, wyl die dag ontwaak
kom ek oudergewoonte weer na U
en oorhandig hierdie dag se saak
en los dit by U Vadersknie.
U weet waarvan my hart oorloop
en ken die denke in my hoof,
ek kniel hier van myself gestroop
en soek U wil in my geloof.

Gee dat ek nie hierdie dag
in eie krag en wysheid nader,
gee geduld dat ek sal wag
om U wil te doen, my Vader.
Gee my kennis uit U Woord,
vernuwe my manier van dink,
bring dit met U eie in akkoord,
sodat my woorde na U klink.

Neem my hande en my voet,
wys my dit wat ek moet doen,
maak dit wat ek doen dan goed
om ander met U te versoen.
Vader stroop my van my eie ek
en alles wat U nie van hou.
Kom neem U dan die ereplek,
U is die Heer op wie ek vertrou.

Uprooting life


Today, I shall uproot
and find a distant shore
without giving a hoot
for that which we adore,
the things that bind,
but also make us blind.

Life is meant for living
not merely for surviving.

So, I shall uproot today
and throw life a lifeline
and invite it to come away
to that for which the heart pine,
to stop and be astounded
by all that’s to be founded.

Life is meant for sharing
with passion and with caring.

Die snoek loop!


Met vars snoek uit die see
haas hul na die hawekant
Vars vis! Oorgenoeg vir twee!
Vir lekker braai daar op die strand!”
So verkwansel hul die ware,
uit die dieptes uitgehaal,
met wye handgebare
wat die prys daarvan bepaal.

Seemansoog bly op die golwe
wyl ander in hul beddens rus,
die branders is vroeg omgedolwe
langs hierdie lewensryke kus.
Snoeke loop, al boog die deine,
breek die skuite middeldeur,
en slap lê styfgespande lyne
in die waters en verweer.

A new song


I stood on high so I could stare
at the world that spread out everywhere
and in my heart I held on tight
to what I knew was wrong and right.

The world bombarded me with wealth,
entered my thinking with skill and stealth
and before I knew what was happening,
I danced to words that the world would sing.

But as my eyes focused on the cross,
I sensed I had suffered a terrible loss,
and slowly I began to free my mind,
left the worthless things of the world behind.

At the cross I knelt in deep despair
for my sin had struck me everywhere,
but my Lord held out a bleeding hand
that eternally changed how I understand.

At the cross I learned a whole new dance
different from callous sex and romance,
for I learned about self-sacrifice
and that self-absorption had a steep price.

Kakefonie


Wees stom, wees stil en moenie praat
die wêreld is reeds oorgewig aan raad
Hou dus jou mond en jou opinie
weg van hulle wat dit nie verdien nie.

Spits jou ore in die stilte, luister fyn
na hulle wat in die geraas verdwyn
want hulle klanke dra ook gewig
maar slegs vir diè wat hulle daarop rig.

Maak oop jou oë, kyk om jou heen
wat hierdie oomblik aan jou leen
Besef dan ook dat klank verstom
as gefokusde beelde na vore kom.

Wanneer dan jou stem-basuin
uiteindelik in die niet verdwyn
en dit wat vir jou so belangrik was
op die rak sit van jou poppekas,
weet dan dat dit wat tel nie altyd raas,
maar jou met stomheid kan verbaas.

Harts-tog


Het jy geweet die hart kan kneus,
dat mens elke hartsklop sou kon vrees
omdat elke nuwe pomp se seer
my hartslag slaan met geen verweer.
Daar is geen skilde wat die hart bewaar
dis blootgestel en naak en klaar
vir elkeen wat roekeloos daar ingaan
sonder om te probeer verstaan
dat hierdie hart se sensitiwiteit
nie kan slaag om mense uit te sluit.
Dus, trap versigtig as jy hier wil in,
en neem jou tyd om te besin,
of dit wat jy met my wil doen,
jy met regverdigheid versoen.
En as jy vind jy soek net kwaad,
sal jy my nie maar eerder agterlaat?

Deception in the ranks


Oh, you friend with lying lips
from whom deception glibly slips,
how I wish I had never known
the darkness of the seeds you’ve sown.

You make up stories told for truth,
and do not fight with nail or tooth;
instead, you tear your friends apart,
driving wedges to the heart.

You do not sting with fist or foot
but paint my name in dark black soot.
Yet did you ever stop to think
how bitter are the words you drink?

Our Father sits with broken heart
as you tear relationships apart
and never seem to think or care
about the dried up blood you wear.

Ongesproke woorde


Met fyngekose kwashale
oorbrug ek alle mensetale,
verklap in lyn en kleur myself,
terwyl jy na jouself kan delf.
Kuns oorbrug mense-skeiding
in beelde na die doek gebring,
sodat ons moeiteloos verstaan
wat in die gemoed aangaan
van hom wat verwonderd staar
na beelde, woordeloos verklaar.
Ek lig dus my kwas artisties hoog
na elkeen wat met verf betoog
en hulle stemme so laat hoor
in klankelose mensekoor.

Connect


I met a man upon an old mule
who challenged me to a mental duel,
but did this man make a mistake,
for I was clever, not a fake!

I met a woman on a horse
who wondered if I’d stay the course,
but her concern was overrated,
for I stayed longer than I stated.

I met a small child with broken toys
who was teased by other girls and boys;
who wondered if I truly cared,
or if I only stopped and stared.

There are many people in my wake
who wondered if I were true or fake
and I hope that most of them had found
that if things were tough, I’d stick around.
