Awelewa

Ip don't know many things I don't know the first step of the pleasing wind I don't know where the sun goes when the stars sparkle at night I do not know where the flowing river stops But I know the joy that abounds in the tired eyes of a mother when she hears the first cry of her new child I know that feelings in the heart when tears and smiles collide in the face I know the sweetness of that undiluted palm-wine when the drinker licks his lips These are what dance and prance in my heart like a school of dolphins in the sea These are the reasons why eternity with you would wear on so quickly These are the reasons my lips love to glue like a leaf around a soap to your well carved lips Awelewa, Beautiful you are like the sky in its undisturbed manner Your smile, like a light, illuminate the darkest part of my existence Awelewa, where is that archer that could pluck the stars with a single shot? A necklace of stars, i long to adorn your neck with Tell that great hunter To bring me the skins of the tigers On them, you'll be walking about like a princess that you are Awelewa
