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.
