Zimbabwe’s little flame

Out of the deep dungeon, it juts

Now, look at its bloom

Hanging above the eastern skies

So crimson like the birth of a new flame-lily,

As softly as a newborn’s heartbeat,

It rises —

Painting hearts in its awakening self -

Embellishing dreams of a new beginning

Weaving with its thread-like fingers something fresh,

Something as bright as grandmother’s tales

O, it echoes -

Telling everyone to prepare a place in the heart

Silently, it asks: are you ready to

Tend to this little flame called Zimbabwe?
