PreludeA Poem by Opeyemi Jide-OjoDistance calls me and I answer; I do not know why A voice calling
out, like the faint whispers on breeze- Indeed, is it?
Beneath the reach of my mind, Fathomless
depths; I just know it’s there. I leave me while
I lay asleep To the sole
possess of myself, Departing, led by
sounds unknown, dead To anyone living,
perhaps dead- Am I dead? If
death is not but by this definition, I’ll stay this
way- I have the wisdom of a thousand sights, A thousand
whispers and a thousand secrets. Beyond the
binding boundaries hitherto confining me, I defy earth,
floating on the wings of the night, Leaning to the
voice calling out to me, I may return if I
may, else, I’ll return when
the voice calls you- We meet, and it calls the next. © 2013 Opeyemi Jide-Ojo |
