IN AMIDST OF EPICENTRE
Owls and Snakes
Lay down their tone for good
Meandering rivers and streams freeze
Even living breeze become ice
Every dawn and noon in a folding of arms
Watching the blossoming white dove approach.
Tears and blood sign armistice
Stones and broken glasses apologise,
The outcry of feet and toe heard at last
Breaking the galaxy of toxic silence by a muse
Sobbing eyes no longer form a river down cheeks,
Hair fails no longer from the head.
Knives, Pangas and Machetes
No longer blood thirst,
White washed to paint walls and pots
Cats fight no more in darkness but embrace
Producing symphonies not sparks of fear,
Bakers and Chefs burned no more along the woven.
Lions and Antelopes bury the hatchet
Cow dung finally perfume for mosquitoes
Catapults pause in existence
Paving way to birds party and procreation
Now stand tall following the call, praying
That volcano of the world won’t sign my death warrant.
About this poem
Considering how depression strikes the mind down, this poem is a light of hope that there is a reverse in negativity and tables turn in life. The poem is a portrayal of imagery starting from the title and paragraphs; IN AMIDST OF EPICENTER meaning in a middle of a difficulty. I believe there is an opportunity in middle of a thought provoking situation.
