Inside Polokwane: Places Part 1

When you enter a town wash your feet. Walk the land,

then you can experience a town.

These Feet of Mine

Beloved, let these feet of mine
carry me forth
towards love’s blessed realm.

Let them tread this earth
in hope and joy,
walking always towards the light.

And whilst these feet of clay
remain in my possession,
may they bear me unto good fortune.

And when I return these things of dust
into the dust of the earth’s waiting bosom,
let me walk on still towards You.

(Abdur Rahman, 7th February 2008)
