Godwin Ibrahim Poet Prose Poetry

The Message

I saw the sun at mid night 
Up in the skies 
The clouds, stars and the moon
Dismayed 

They all gathered around 
In silence 
And in a bit of time 
There was melancholy 

Then the sun brightens and brightens and brightens 
The stars and the moon ran away
It brightens more 
And more and more 
And agony raged 

Then came a blast
The sun! 
Yes! The sun blasted 
All was thrown away 
And the earth shocked in fear 

And then in trembling 
I looked up to see
I saw the blasted sun 
Like a piece of cloud 
Walking towards the right
In colours of light 
Yes light!
Like those light of the Christmas tree 
Beautiful beautiful shining light
 
Suddenly the piece of cloud turned to hundred of shining lightening doves 
With the Christmas light on both wings
Which flown in their numbers to the earth 

They hover round and round and round 
Then settles upon the roof over my head 
Hmm!
I saw the their beauty 
An incomparable beauty 


Then those consumed by the soil 
I met all fit again 
I saw this and that and that
I saw the faithful who later became doves 
Hover a while and vanished away 

The message was quite received 
It was brief 
That not long from now 
The Son of Man will come
