Phakathi kokuxinana nokuphithizela kwempilo, sihlala silangazelela ukuthola indawo enokuthula lapho imiphefumulo yethu ingaphumula khona futhi izinkondlo zingakhula buthule. Umuthi owodwa we-magnolia engiwabelana nani nonke ufana nenganekwane emnene ehamba kusukela ekujuleni kwesikhathi. Emifantwini yesikhathi, udweba indawo yezinkondlo ezinhle kithi, okwenza ngisho nezinsuku ezivamile zikhanye kakhulu.
Icembe ngalinye ligobile kancane, linomphetho wemvelo, njengokungathi lisanda kuzwa umoya opholile futhi manje lelula ukuma kwalo, liqhakaza ngokugcwele ubuhle balo. Ama-stamens aphuzi ngokuthambile, njengezinganekwane eziqabulwe yilanga, zigcwele phakathi kwamacembe, zengeza ukuthinta kokuphila nokudlala kule magnolia.
Ebusuku, lapho ngilala embhedeni ngibuka i-magnolia eqhakaza buthule etafuleni eliseceleni kombhede, zonke izinkinga nokukhathala enhliziyweni yami kubonakala sengathi kusulwa ngokushesha. Amacembe aveza i-aura ezolile nenokuthula ngaphansi kokukhanya okuthambile, okwenza ngizizwe sengathi ngisephusheni elithule. Njengoba nginalo, ngingalala kahle kakhulu njalo ebusuku. Lapho ngivuka ekuseni ngibona ukubukeka kwalo okukhangayo, isimo sami sengqondo sizoba mnandi kakhulu.
Yibeke ekhoneni ledeski. Uma ngihlala edeskini, ngibheke ikhompyutha noma incwadi futhi ngizizwa ngikhathele, uma nje ngibheka phezulu kuleyo magnolia, ngizothintwa ubuhle bayo obulula nobukhazikhazi, futhi ugqozi luzofika lukhukhula njengesiphethu.
Impilo ingaba lula, kodwa uma nje sithola futhi sidala ngezinhliziyo zethu, singadweba ingxenye yezinkondlo zethu ezilula nezinhle emifantwini yesikhathi. I-magnolia eyodwa iyisihluthulelo sethu sokuvula impilo yezinkondlo. Kungani ungazikhetheli eyodwa futhi uyivumele ihambisane nathi nsuku zonke ezinhle?
