All Around Me! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

I cannot just imagine!
I cannot just believe it!
That all around me
Very close by
All these things happen
The day breaks
The sun shines
The sun sets
The dawn comes
The rain showers, falls or drops
The heat rules the dry season
The cold control the harmattan and winter seasons
The moments come with the seconds
The seconds roll into the minutes
The minutes merge into hours
The hours turn into days
The days mature weeks
The weeks become months
The months stream to years
The years are seen in decades, centuries and eras
The seasons are the landmarks that differentiate our existence
The time comes in trickles
Yet it soon become larger than the expanse of the oceans
It determines our ages
The time that happen around us
The time that happen around me!
All that happen around me! ! !
