He wanders through the village
with a sketchbook in his hand,
capturing the light and shadow,
the rhythm of the land.
He sees the beauty in the everyday,
the wonder in the plain,
and with his pen and ink and paint,
he brings it to the world again.
He is the artist of the people,
the voice of the land,
and with his vision and his skill,
he makes our spirits grand.
a poem by Uche Okeke
