Oliver Okoli Poet Ode

As the Rising Sun

As the dawn of a new day, 
revealed by the bright countenance 
of the rising sun,
made bare by the parting heavenly blanket 

As the certainty of the new day, made naked,
by the fleeting timid terrestrial curtain of night 

So let the sapphire desire to do good,
to lift the spirit of others, be revealed,
in our eternal treasury 

Let it shine through, 
dispelling the mist of apathy; 
the tunnel vision of self-absorption


(Dedicated to Dan Williams)
