Hello world!

The decision to document life comes in many forms.

Be it, the good old Diary, the Photo Album, Visual imagery, the Biography, or even lets face it a blog which capsulates the essence of sound and most of all and dear to my heart the written word.

I Welcome you into my world and let today be a journey for life with all the mega moments and depleting challenges.

So now be Sherified!

It's not acquired or purchased.

It comes from within, branches out and takes root in the consciousness of the other.

Be it friend or foe.

No

It comes from Freedom of Expression, surging inside.

I pick its fruits:

  • Integrity
  • Humanity
  • Acceptance
  • Courage

My strength is my roots that stems from within me.

I can not control my branches, but I can allow it to bloom and with this comes the element of freedom.

My bLoOm has blossomed, it is now Sherified!

KROTOA


Evs (Krotoa)

Krotoa, Krotoa I long to hear
Conforming to that, which is strange and different.
Bound by boundaries rooted deeper than time.
She looks and feels and says difference.
Krotoa, Krotoa I long to hear
Offering that difference to the unknown

Appealing to the humanity of man
I seek no comfort but find solace in change
and springs beyond that which is offered to her
Adopting the name awarded to me,
Regarded as a privilege to say the least.
Failing to flaunt my features I am noticed.
Changing her identity with material value.
Adding transgression, using communication,
feeding evolution.
A vehicle of trade is what i am known for
Krotoa, Krotoa, I long to hear

Two worlds capture the essence of my being
Krotoa, Krotoa, I no longer hear
I now choose the road less travelled by one paved by the other and locate divinity
I conform to that of Eva Van Riebeeck to Eva Van Meerhoff
I long no more to hear
Krotoa, Krotoa

Hearing, meditation
I remain the vehicle o trade and conversation
A revelation indeed
Trying to grasp history by time gone by, sketching an image of immortality.
Deeming the regurgitated facts as a portrayal of ideologies held and lives lived.
Describing the feeless faults, guided by the pen
and the heroic existence absorbed by many.
