To Mother Nature All Beings Returned Poem by Chukwuemeka Ezeamalu

To Mother Nature all beings return'
To metamorphose into new form.
Yet, more tears of mine are left to run 
For—a soul risen to the ranks of gods

At birth we are inseparable
So my dearest friend 'tis farewell, be
And death for all; inescapable
But like rain, fire or air you'r e'er free

Yet, emotions flame my heart like stove
So—on eternal rock I calv'd your name 
And rest it on earth where thou had throve 
Same earth your dearest body you gave.

(with a hiss)

With fair songs must I be lighthearted?
Ah! To it that chose your heaven's call,
Surely on hell's mill shall be grated
But heaven must wait for my own call.
