TO THE WORLD, FROM THE WORLD

-
Restless I become, like a leaf, dancing on water,
When terms unspoken ripples along my tummy.
.
I wish I could also spit and breathe life, to walk,
But, what dominion has a word over the world?
.
Since this wide wordy world is not my own,
Only these terms I utter -- my possessions.
.
Behold, these countenance creatures of mine,
In many minds, it shall walk, to live, after me.

NURTURING FRIENDSHIP

-
Image
Solemnly, the race started in dark With gists, with talk and walked  to smiles, Like the nailing of that saving ark Our friendship quickly run miles. She's a bird of my feather Times with her- a homely one, In space we flock together Without her- a lonely run. Now love I shown but err was seen This rightful wrong, who shall amend? “Just let me be"- all she sings This loving journey , is this how it'll end? Our departure, my mind it tortures This friendship ought to be nurtured. #PsalmsInk © Samuel O. Ogunyinka, (Psalmist).
