Home, A Call Poem by Olamide Taiwo

Home, A Call

When at the break of day at a river side
I hear a silent sea wailing
Wailing like a Lion roaring in coaxing horrific
Solos

A Clarion's calls I hear
Rigging with harsh mystic rhythm
With indistinct voice, hovering in the air
Blustering my thought with a phrase;
' Of my transient voyage on the sea of life '

Darkness impregnated the day
And fear impregnated the night
Silence bewailed the folks souls
And elegy, ravaged the earth of millions souls

Flood and tide, came a visit
To the shore, they took me far;
Afar, where no eyes could behold,
There, I shall find my rest,

Tell the winds not to wail
Tell the somber night to jocund
For all hearts is mortal
Farewell songs, I want not
For my days is hundred and twenty
