Five years of knocking the spirit door
Of joining celestial being to adore
Absorbed into stupendous Splendor
Ending your epoch in Onitsha Ado
None pose rhetoric to imperial partiality
No senile mind can grasp this reality
Only my spirit, the seat of eternity
Senses can't synchronize with divinity
Its riddles hard for the mind of finite
Only reins penetrate disguise of infinite
Understanding mind and knowing spirit
One day I shall know even as am known
My love still abounds and never ebb
Even though our lover be no more

Beautiful piece of poetry, well articulated and elegantly brought forth in heightened poetic diction with conviction. Lovely memorial of a wonderful dad nicely brought forth with insight. I like the rhyme scheme of the piece Chuka. Kudo! Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
