Life's Dawn

Agbaingya Luseter 2002 (Gboko)

Sonnet
LIFE'S DAWN

Ended up on a crossroad.
With lots of thoughts and load.
Giving up never an option
Going back? I can't mention

‘Hold on' the heart mentions.
‘Let go', the body notions.
‘Am tired’ the mouth screams.
My eyes filled with cries

My brain suggests.
But my mind doesn't digest.
The spirit growing stronger
But my body gets weaker

'Oh God!!' show me the way out.
Cos You are my only peaceful port.
Strengthen my body and spirit.
At this life's dawn. And don't  let my soul and body split.
