your time blows in the wind

spread your hands
like you own the skies. speak like thunder and
let the rain fall. act the script.
own the world; even hakuna matata happened
when all animals bowed to simba.

your's is coming.
take the step helon habila took on plateau plains
of purple hibiscus: chimamanda's silver lining
and aprons round your waist
and big one on israel adesanya's shoulder.
all will wait till your time comes. for now
it blows in the winds. it will come.

Very profound piece. Just

Very profound piece. Just some suggestions, beginning with all your stanzas capitalize the first letter. Capitalize each word in the title. Where you end with a full stop capitalize the next letter. Overall a heroic piece for people to find the courage within themselves and willed it into themselves.
