I Know a River

I know a river; long before I began to hold a pen those days of- -"twinkle, twinkle little star" I know a river; A river of words; not river-benue or river-niger But its a river that flows in human- imagination And a paper is made as a boat -paddled with pen To sail a message to the earth From heaven's gate -a lullaby to the infant and wise-words to the adult I know a river; Shakespeare and others've been to the river -they took their bathe and left Today, Here I stood by the river bank, With my colleagues Akewusola habib, Oludipe samuel, muhammad-ahmad -Rasak-malik- Gbolahan, Randy michael, Oloidi kingfemi and others In the young of our days Bathing in the river of words Though we're nude in the river But we're clothe with our imaginations I know a river; A river from solomon's source Now I am swimmer, -in its floods Adesitimi Taiwo Damilola.
