Funom Makama Poet Ode

Happy Birthday To Me

Just 3 days before the earth completes its evolution
calendar numerals with maximum numbers
one of which is the peak found in all 12 cycles
and the other, the highest of all months

It’s a day when birth among all things
becomes the protocol officer to nature
and a new life full of promise and expectations
results from the shading of history’s skin

A day when 
the sun chills with the living matters
of the hills before going to bed
when the clouds hold hands in same rhythm
marveling to an added blessing the earth just received
when the tides of the waters rise up high
in complete salute to this majestic new entry

He is a pace setter, a trail blazer and a king
he breaths out the commanding charisma of a leader
housing a thousand qualities of a champion
and wearing a million features of a god

From three hundred and sixty five rotations
one becomes slower and closer to the sun
and its natural satellite rigid in awe
all because the legend has arrived
happy birthday to me.

Merwin Rylaarsdam February 7, 2015 at 8:22 AM How nice. Happy birthday two months late! You share a birth date with my wife. There's so much going on that her birthday often gets lost in the busyness! It's good to step back and take a look at the important things in life.

Michelle Mac Donald January 10, 2015 at 4:42 PM This is your birthday, Funom? It is an earth sign of one very much grounded. An extremely happy, though slightly belated, birthday wish for you!! Feels like a day after the winter solstice has kicked in, allowing you to be embraced and empowered by the sun. I am on January 31st, truly not a formidable in any earthly way. =/ I am an air sign. Keep well, Mikki Funom Makama January 14, 2015 at 12:27 PM Thank you very much mikki.... I am wishing you a very wonderful 2015
