Soothing Phase Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Soothing Phase



Through these days,
I have seen the moon big then small, its light sullen then bright
I have seen waters gather then disperse into air
Seen the sun mild in rising, harsh at peak and then mild again in setting

Through these days
I have seen valley lilies bloom then wither away
I have seen mild breeze of caress wind into tempest
Seen glowing face turn pale

Through these days
I have seen sweet oranges turn sour
Bustling streets turn cemetery
Luxurious robes turn rags

All elapses in time, even our pains, shame and troubles.
All elapses in time, even our riches, beauty and treasures
Perhaps a clause’
Our deeds’ living through time

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Life today, teaches our inevitable end.
The world, a passage with many plights, a passage to our home, through the journey we contend battles, sorrows and joy that we must count each moment, each new day living and leaving to go home. This goes out especially to me for the parting, passing of persons who held large part of my heart. May you be with God till we meet again in that place of no cold, pain, sorrow, that place of singing birds, of pet lions, that dwells on the river the rising and setting sun over horizon, in that place where never will grow old. On that celestial shore we sail and as we remain in this passage, we pray God lift us up in storm, guide us through gloomy darkness and grace us to do that which He wills, hoping the strength, the strong will not to quit but to triumph. Compliments of the season.
