Igba Irunmole

Igba Irunmole, These armies in bright blinding splendour, Arrayed in unfathomable beauties, Winged being from beyond the galaxies’ Tracking the blues skies unnoticed, They walk this earth, unseen by mortal eyes, Igba Irumole, Sparkling in beauty, I marked their glowing gaze, In radiance beyond sunlight, Watching the sons of men day and night, Though as servants attending, Yet as warriors in readiness, They weary themselves unseen by mortals, Igba Irunmole They cover the winds in clouds, Sprinting through sunlight unhurt, They mingle in lights with glorious enthusiasm, Constrained by frequent grandeur Parading this widening landscape Igba Irunmole Is this His beauty? a delightful sunbeam, Buries my gaze in a blindfold of horror Well nigh to the end of life, This frame so frail mingled with pains A strength not mine imbued within, There I saw my fickle frame. footnote . Igba Irunmole translated into English Are myriads of Angels Igba is number count in Yoruba Language, Irumole, Iru awon oni Imole, the bearers of Light
