Silent Wish

By Olufunke Kolapo

Pearly silvery sparkle
Jewels of the night
Bid you to carry my wish
Through the gentle breeze
Into the blue beyond
My heart desires this last thing
Return to me my limbs
Feel this warm sand beneath my feet
Walk this earth one more time
The cool breeze on my face
Visit the greatest wonder of the west
Where water gushes from the rock
In the deepest greens
Climb its seventh hill
The sky and the clouds above me
Inhale the fresh breath
Untainted by men's quest
And shout to the whole world
The tale of the triumph of my tattoo.

    "Return to me my limbs Feel this warm sand beneath my feet Walk this earth one more time The cool breeze on my face" - just wonderful imagery! I love the entirety of this piece and the sense of quiet comfort it sends me in terms of hope and openly expressed awe at life's wonder. Fantastic job! Ciao, T/S Scholar
