Oyekake Satty Joshua (Nigeria)
A Calling
This calling within, this burden,
That growls and beckons daily
To dreams or realms of vagary
And its path shunned by sureness
To be lead by none but faith
To bind up belongings and embark
On a journey with no guarantees
Just to obliged an inner voice?
To step into territories unknown
And this hounding arrested
The gnawing feeling desisted
Would it with lasting comfort bring?
All these questions still unanswered
This torturous voice within grows louder
Dares to bid me follow such vagary
And beckons me to a calling so unclear.
