Beach Of A White Stream

... I will choose my Africa as a substitute for heaven...

When the Lord will at last descend,
To gather his own by the sound of His voice:
I wish to hear, though amidst earthly noise,
I wish to be in line to with Him ascend
To the prepared shining residence
In glassy estate, paths of gold full of all joys
That wholly shames the world's turbulence;
Its theft of the green & negligence of the cowboys.

But when He comes & clothes me with white & wings
And say before the flight I should flee to where I please:
I will soar as beautiful eagles over hills
And jungles to spy Africa's beauties:
Green leaves, mountains and all tall trees
That borders the boundaries of fountains
And by the little beach of a white stream
I will pitch a tent of leaves where I'll lie & fall asleep.

Haha! If GOD tells you to pick a place to fly to you will come back to African? Really Africa!!!
Haha is there more to this your Africa than we see everyday?

I always enjoy reading you poems because they never seize to present me with fantastic ideas.

Hahahahaha... Well, I feel there is more to Africa than the mere eyes can see. I know that sometimes we tend not to see the beauty of what lies in our palm till we loose it. But Africa is one of those things I don't wanna loose. The beauty of life is not in its ultimate level here in Africa; I agree. But its still not ultimate anywhere in other parts of the world. There any negative events going on presently in Africa (just as in other parts of the world); I agree. But I have chosen to focus more on the positive ones. And the difference between Africa and the Rest of the world is that "Africa has a greater potential and chance to achieve the state of Ultimate Beauty of Life". Hahahahaha... Miss Ibidun, I gratefully and happily appreciate the fact you enjoy reading my poems and that its themes fascinates you. I'm encouraged. I won't failed to remark that I have equally missed you so much; and your mind blowing reviews on my works. I lost my cell phone and I thought I can no longer access this intellectual site. I was so excited when I observed today while in a cyber cafe that I can still gain access to my account in this site. People like you have made this place worth its while for me. I'm happy to be back here again. #Smiles
