Ibiba Ibinabo Poems
- 1. The Creator
The God of all
The God that sleeps nor slumber
The God that wakes a man
Tells him to move
... - 2. Troynashi
She was born
In rejoice and paternal care
Called by the spirits
Ordained by God in excellency
... - 3. Dead Ears
Numb to words
Dumb to speak
Quiet in peace
Quiet in solemnity
... - 4. One Thing
One thing in life
One thing i will
One thing i' ll make
One thing i take
... - 5. Sweet Night
Lilies on the valley
Whispering the melodies of the night
Making sweet songs
Snoozing the air of peace
... - 6. The Journey
At the jetty
I raised my hands in prayers
Praying to God to calm the sea
As we are about to embark on the journey
... - 7. The Den
I
Was in the den
For a night
Wailing and trembling
...
