04 / Forever Film

2019

Music by Thokozani Mhlambi

What if, on this night, an angel were to delve after you, into your loneliest loneliness, and say,

“

izulu liyabona - the heavens watch you, as you watch the heavens

look to a puddle, to see the skies

consider that the life you are living, is living you too

it has begun and ended. it won’t stop or start

you will send a prayer up and receive doors down

choice

the doors are open - ivulekile iminyango

uyophelalaphi - where will you end up

zimile - they stand 

until when - kuze kubenini

kude kubekuna phakade - forever 

izimiselo, zikamdali - on the foundations of the Creator 

hyahi, ho

”
