Poem Title:
Poem
From far away past where silent orbs Danced to rhythms of unknown forces forging Newer niches in cloud then soil then rock, Smouldering, sizzling silently as time tic toc Ebbed away, watching life on some lifeless rock surging, To this day when we dance to the rhythm of Forbes, The moon and sun in divine love urging Have danced about the earth: light source upon a rock, Bringing life to earth when the sullen clock Calls out the grim owl, vile wolf, and sturdy sturgeon Through the silent night nobody else disturbs, Locked in eternal enthralment, watching the dark dungeon Earth would be but for the sun- or moonlight it absorbs. Moonlight from sunlight like new groom and virgin Locked in an embrace older than Eden’s first baulk, But sealed forever to work on this blue rock; Bringing light to life on earth at dawn then dusk, merging Efforts: sun casts its beams on daytime suburbs But when the earth turns as if to shun its scourging, That age old mission bound to fail as dusk struck Finds new life in the passive glitter on that battered rock, The partner playing its part, for so it was from the first forging. From far away past, as far back as the silent space orbs, The sun and moon in sublime love urging. Have danced about and cast shadows out of this rock And so it should be, for when one’s gone and you lose the rock Foundation of the union, then is there but darkness and dirge in The picture, and the survivor is just a lifeless rock listening for hope in the orbs. (c)Nyonglema
