Oreke

OREKE Oreke! I've seen the brightness that comes with the sun I've witnessed the moonlight defeat the darkest night I've dined with the breeze exhaled by the ocean Travelled on the back of the walking river And fought and triumphed in the bloodiest war But never behold a beauty like Oreke-lewa Oreke! A Nubia, she's beautiful A lily, she graces the valley An imagination, yet so real A beauty-full part of God Oreke-lewa Precious like precious stone Oreke! She's not a soldier Yet, around my psyche she lays a siege She's not a sorcerer Still, I feel enchanted by her magical gaze. She's the aroma That wafts from that delicious meal That Rent the air and ride on the senses. Her touch, Like the sweetness of the intact-palmwine in the morning. Oreke! Let me end this race with you Firewoods, I'd hew and split for your parents. I'd be at your beck and call I'd fetch and carry for you, Oreke!
