REDOLENT
Curtain of night
pinned with stars
crickets serenading a dancing breeze
Water wafting wilfully
on slime-smoothed stones
singing songs of appease
A lilting song
picking pirouetting petals
from fragrant frangipani trees
Intoxicated spirit
quietly redolent of the Highest Call
Enamoured Soul on its knees!
- Adiela Akoo
