Words Thou Art My Refuge Poem by Martin Ayanbare Ayankola

Under you I seek refuge
My wonderful words
Under you I find refuge
From the vicisitudes of the moment

Through you I reach out
To millions of souls across the oceans and rivers
Through you I see hope
In these forlorn times

Under you I find refuge my wonderful words
I speak you to the mountains around me to flatten
I speak you to the storms in my life to quieten
I speak you to my infertile land to be fertile
I speak you to all my friends across the ancient oceans
To experience peace eternally
