Idi
With its longevity as that of a man,
Free from its Earthly tether
The glance of its eyes chilled the sun
Shadowing and altering wind.
Wings taller than trees
Talons toughed as rock
The peaks are its abode
With speed, its swoop and snatch
Soaring in strength
Shimmering cliffs that brightly shine
Maneuvering menopause,
My name is Idi
Awoh Awoh
*idi means eagle in Yoruba, a language spoken in South-West of Nigeria
