Alas, The dawning of stellar day Lurid and long awaited Like lyrics from another plain Prior warnings that gladden A soul heeding the elder’s pall Reveries romantic That only old age brings Lessons of life and wounds That time can singly heal And so shortened With self-fun and joy Such time to muse At life’s grand hog plot Should I have loved more And done this or that Believed him or her Timeless true thoughts Denied, defied, un-lied Seethed in contentment That I learned life live I often knew no better Than all I did achieve In strides of listless candle lights Grappling with gentle breeze So is the path of everyman Brightly burnt and blown out in the wind   This poem is part of the anthology of 30 poems titled: “Dirges of The Niger” By Nehi Igbinijesu.
