I Sleep Poem by John Ugolo Umah

I Sleep



Yes I sleep
I wakes
but one day
I will sleep and wake no longer

for yonder gone I
to answer for all lived I
for then shall it all be
of the immaterial being

for dust is gone to dust
so, ashes is to ashes
sleep shall be I
wake shall I in yonder

for in that, I shall sing
I shall sing with those in crystal white
flagging their wings around
for they foot not but fly

yonder of wailing gruesome pain
yonder of prevailing praise
yonder of bitterness for some
yonder of betterness for some

yonder, we shall sleep no more
yonder of mystery
yonder, everyone stand alone
yonder, we all must go.
