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.

The elusive spoon

Bubble, bubble,
boiled up trouble,
Stir, and stir and stir around
But confound it!
Who'd believe it?
My elusive spoon cannot be found!

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.
