Thirty-One Summers and Counting  – Poem
by Ama Danesi

In your hurry, you left bones behind
and the heat of thirty-one summers.
Sunset’s not the end of time –
interrupts the rendezvous of a carved image.
I feel your light upon my waters,
I know you are in His.

I pray your heart healed as
it caught up with the Sun.
Stalled timeline, memorialized on Facebook.
Now we live and die on full display
You no longer appear as People-I-Know.
I miss reminders of your birthday – like today.

———————————————————————

Happy Birthday to my little one, Imah-Obong-  who is resting above.

  4. I tend not to comment, however after browsing through a lot of responses on Thirty-One Summers and Counting –
    Poem | Ama Danesi. I do have a couple of questions
    for you if it’s okay. Is it just me or does it look like a few of these comments appear
    as if they are written by brain dead people? 😛 And, if you are writing on additional social sites, I’d
    like to follow anything fresh you have to post.
    Could you make a list of the complete urls of your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

  14. I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours lately, but I by no means found
    any attention-grabbing article like yours.
    It’s lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion,
    if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material
    as you did, the net can be much more helpful than ever before.
