Baobab’s Away Day Poem

During The Baobab Foundation’s Spring Away day, we invited a creative poet, SoloMan The Wizard, to capture the discussion and content of the day.

As part of our reflection for the day, each individual thought of a word that best describes how we felt and SoloMan The Wizard produced a brilliant piece of art!

TASK: See if you can figure out what our words were!

SoloMan The Wizard

Spoken word devotees across the UK and Europe have come to know Kai Larasi as SoloMan the Wizard.

It’s a fitting moniker for a seasoned performer who constantly captivates audiences with spellbinding wordplay, potent poetics and staff carrying charisma.

POEM

Ancestral soil tends to nurture Love more robustly...

Trust each inch of Your Skin embraces the Kin who moved before...

Ubuntu is a chord that binds to Time...

As We wind back and forth...

Let Our hands trace an interlaced course so that Our Movement is inclusive of all of Our

Intersections...

I am Thine Own’st reflection so Just Be...

Free of any questions of My position...

You speak and I listen...

Practiced in discernment...

I am fervent in My searches for what lays beneath the surface...

To further Our Unity...

Lay the foundation for a progressive community...

Tomorrow ticks tunelessly...

Restlessly awaiting the music We emanate with Our Growth...

Evolution is the Presents oath of Generosity...

That it will itinually elevate its luminosity for those to come...

So Gratitude may hum through Our Sons and Daughters as They place fresh incense on Our Alters...

In a time where Joy does not falter in the face of adversity...

Certainty is not a need...

Believe...

Plant the seed...

Let Our Ascendants feed from this new Baobab Tree
