Poetry From the Skies

(c) Oke.

Poetry from the Skies:

There was poetry up in the skies before we 
learned to write

Awesome rhythms rendered as a strong 
winds might

Surely we aint aware of this lyrics penned 
down by the clouds

As such when it sings the green vegetations 
all bows

There was poetry long before we learned to 
walk or hear

Drums that tender softly beats that is far but 
near

A brief gaiety that sounds across the heavens

Heard passionately even when it stills at 
nights

There is poetry down this little African hill

Maybe it was the hyenas laugh sounding 
near the mill

What is there, that there is no poetry in?

A flying stone sings heartily till it lands in a 
swing

The infant here draws lines in his Arcadian 
mind

If you cant find poems around you  listen to 
the sky!
