POEM TITLE - College Thoughts.

I was dead when Thou took Me out to a place only known to Thou
But along the way, I knew where I was headin'
An illy path, un-tarred roads, the earth was sienna
I observed the atmosphere as itchy, expressin' myself as a learner
The experience that was of no dusk and dawn.

A fire bright dove flew to My rest and laid twigs in front of the brook I was next to
The Dove, Harbinger of Thou who took Me
Me was void of being loquacious because I was instructed not to say a dicky bird to the dove
You took Me to a trench its depth told the depth of knowledge
I am supposed to duck a bowl and raise water out of it to rinse My brain further
Further to know the things the spirits will show Me

I became despondent and was led out by My morbid fascination with the journey
I reverted to the rivulet where I met the dove behold,
A stainless pale bowl that bloomed My distraughted mind
I ducked it inside the water as My hands aided My brain off My head
As the water plummets out of the bowl, it never went in
It drops out or strikes back at Me, it left Me puzzled
I was verklempt for minutes as I was nostalgic of when I had life.

The rinsin' of My brain was beneficial to Thou not Me
Similar to pourin' water into a straw or a basket
So it's better I take a pen and engrave a word on My brain
The inscription reads out THE ESSENCE OF MORTALITY.
Thus, explained the presence of a writer❤. - Mr Okonji
