I watched her rekindle the flame
From the broken down deserted fire place
She deftly picked the stray broken pieces
Weaving the wood into a pattern
Sorting out the sticks of a broken life
African woman squatting by the fire
Blow some more
So that a fire we see
I watched her complete the puzzle
The quiz baffling many
A life once confused and dazed
Now ablaze with hope
A heavy broken ego, now light
African woman squatting by the fire
Blow some more
So that a fire we see
