POEM - ECHO FROM THE STORM, Poet - Aminu Femi Jamiu (Nigeria)
ECHO FROM THE STORM
Aminu Femi Jamiu
I'm the echo
That rumbled
Out of the storm
Deep down the darkest dungeon
I roared like an angry lion
My voice shattered in the air
As my whims wallows
Wailing in the turbulence wind
Like the sobbing stars
Darting across the blank sky.
Within this firmament
I stood
Firm like a termite hill
Painting yesteryears pains
Across the canvas of life.
I seek the voice of nature
To heed to the plight
Of the burning sun
As she carry my burden
Like a hunch back
And the ember of my agony
To rekindle without ashes.
Setting my feable feet
Upon a fertilize soil
My sheepish soul now madrigal
As nature lend me a hearing.
In her posies disco Elysium
I will dance the dance of metaphor
Beat the drum of poetry
Till my soul sail and sing
Beaming its brilliant ray
To reflect my stinking storm.
