Thoughts in Fall (2) Once again I hear the beats of my weary thoughts today The resonance of my lonely soul ponding under my breath I am far from the rivers that used to soothe my juvenile feet I am deep in the jungle of faces that will never see my lushly land In this new icy city where I pitched my hopeful tent that placid winter Wait! Will my dog even hear me from this eccentric woodland? Please, will I ever feel the love of my childhood folly? Oh miss you Tetembula! The ground where my dusty feet found love! Now you are not any different from the world around you Your surface is now filled with misty concreate from hell Sometime tears flow just from the smell of corn in spring The sight of a farm and feel of a crusty coconut shell My soul is tied to the land of the blazing sun for ever But my spirit is such an unrepentant traveler The more I feed my spirit, the farther it takes me from home The more I empty my soul, the more I am dragged back to my youth Oh I wish that day will come! That calm serene of the evening view When we all can sit around in the dark at night with a lantern lit Free spirit, full of hope and never doubting the future Today I stare across the Fraser and it hits me! Life is just a journey and this is just the beginning! Omo-Ekun, Ilu-Nla |
