In the Mist of Life . . . Hope . . . Love . . .

By Komomo Itam

Like most of us, we feel lost in a world that we do not know. We constantly fight ourselves as we journey through life. You are not alone in the confusion, the emptiness, and the search. This collection will inspire you to accept yourself and your experiences and also pay attention to the things going on around us in a bid to find the meaning in them. We do not have to find meaning to everything. We find ourselves and give our lifes meaning and make peace with it. Then we give ourselves a task of creating a life we want to live in.

Komomo Itam

The author has drawn inspirations from various aspects of her life and environment, which have guided her through the years in the search for truth. The journey of life with the ingredients of love, hope, and gratitude has helped her in the search for meaning of existence and finding purpose and fulfilling destiny. This collection of poems expresses a profound need for peace—a journey of rejecting a self the world has created and finding a true self, awakening to the realization of the ultimate purpose of living and of being. For her, this is a foundation for all ages to find what they’re looking for at any stage in their life: peace, love, joy, and truth.

Love

Love, my son is for the gods,

but when you ask it of them;

they send you that girl with love unspeakable

Unmerited Love

When I think about love, a smile plays on my lips

I am reminded of fathers’ romance story.

Gathered at his feet, his shinny eyes beams

He tells

The way he wooed his love

Soul and the consecration of body

He wakes her up with the birds singing

In the trees and reminds her of the warmness

Of his love with the rising of the sun

He itemizes His love with the passing of the seconds,

Increases by the minutes and magnifies by the hours.

The sun brightens as he guides her through,

He takes her through the garden of his heart,

Flowers on her path, gold and pearls for her gifts
