Unearthing

Next to Venus and before Mars
Third to the sun and best to live-in
With Liquid water and oxygen-atmosphere
You find Earth.
Below the skies and above the waters
Beneath the clouds and within the earth
Under the sun and on-top the sands
You find me.
In the malls and stations
At those moments when the wind gets to fly
And time finds it difficult to walk
You’ve just seen a work of art- A damsel.
Above the tides and currents
On the beaches of the coasts
Just besides the city’s gate
You’ll find a mixture- water and cool wind.
In the burg and the country
And all unlikely places
In the morning and sunset
You might just find love.
I am a Pharmacist who is enjoying the other side of life. I like writing retrospectively while listening to the voices of nature all around. I reside in Nigeria, where I also practice. Some of my works have appeared in Kalahari Review, Ake Review and COVIDHQAfrica. I get to draw occasionally, using graphite and charcoal pencils. I believe life is truly beautiful.
