THE HUT,WAS QUITE,THOUGH NOT SURPRISED

BUT THE COMPOUND WAS SINGING

I WAS ANXIOUS TO KNOW WHO IT WAS

 

I GRACIOULY GOT UP FROM MY KOLA NUT DUTY

AND WENT OUT OF THE HUT

TO MY GREARTEST SUPRISE

I WAS BEFORE A SINGING WIND

IT SANG AND DANCED

AND I SMILED WITH AMAZEMENT

 

IT WENT FUHER AWAY

FROM THE HUT

AND I FOLLOWED FOOLISHLY

IT WENT MORE FUTHER

AND I FOLLOWED RELIGIOUSLY

 

AND IT VANISHED

BEFORE I COULD GET BACK TO MYSELF

I WAS IN A DEEP FOREST

NOT SCARED THOUGH AS THE MASTER OF THE FOREST

 

BUT ,SUDDENLY

I SAW BABIES!YES,BABIES

WALKING ON THE AIR

ALL DRESSED IN WHITE APPAREL

SINGING AND MOVING WITH WHITE CANDLES

THOUGH NOT DARK

RELIGIOUSLY,TOWARDS A TREE

 

 

IT WAS LIKE AN ACTION MOVIE,I MARVLED

LIKE THE VISITATION OF DEATH,I WAS MOVED

LIKE THE EXPECTATION OF A BABY ,I WAITED

 

AND AT THE APPROCH OF THE BABIES TOWARDS THE TREE

THE BABIES  AT THE FOREFRONT SAID :

"WHO ARE YOU THE FACE OF BEAUTY"

AND AT ONCE THE TREE BECAME A FACE OF A WOMAN

AND THE FACE REPLIED:

"WHO ARE YOU THE THOUGHTS OF BEAUTY"

AND INSTANTLY THE BABIES BECAME BEAUTIFUL FINE LADIES

 

THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL

WITH LONG HAIRS

AND TALL LEGS

SMOOTH FACES

AND LIPS LIKE OIL THAT KEEPS FLOWING FROM THEIR LIPS

CAN THIS BE REAL,I THOUGHT TOWARDS MYSELF

 

I WAS GONE

BUT CANT EXPLAIN WHILE I STILL HAD MY CONCIOUSNESS

I WAS SPECCHLESS,BUT CANT EXPLAIN WHILE I STILL SPOKE TO MY SELF

 

THE BEAUTIFUL LADY THEN SAID:

"THE WORLD IN IT AND BEAUTY WITH IT THE FACE BEHOLD''

AND THE FACE REPLIED:

"ALL THAT ARE BEAUTIFUL WE SHALL BEHOLD"

 

AND INSTANTLY THE TREE OPENED UP

I WAS...(DONT KNOWN THE WORDS TO USE HERE)

BUT I SAW A WORLD IN THE TREE

A WORLD ,CANT JUST EXPLAIN

WITH PEOPLE VOICE

AND CHILDREN PLAYING

SAW FLYING HORSES,AND TALKING GOAT

SAW STREAMS WITH OCEANS

IN JUST A GLIMPSE

 

 

HMMMMM,

THEN THE BABIES DANCED RELIGIOUSLY

AND SANG SPIRITUALY

THEY KEPT SINGING:

 

"WE HAVE SEEN WHAT LIVES FOREVER

WE HAVE BEHOLD WHAT PERISH NOT

WE HAVE EATEN OF HER

LETS DANCE INTO LIFE WITHOUT END"

AS THEY DANCED INTO THE TREE

 

 

BUT THE BEAUTIFUL LADY LEADING THEM WAITED BEHIND

AND WHEN SHE WAS LEFT ALONE, SHE SAID:

"WHO KNOWS BEAUTY,WITHOUT SEEING HER FACE

AND THE TREE REPLIED

"WHO KISSES THE  FIRE WITHOUT A BURNT LIPS"

AND THE FACE BECAME A TREE AGAIN

AND THE THE LADY BECAME A wind and danced away

 

ALL I REMEMBERED WAS THAT,

I SAW MYSELF IN THE HERBALIST HUT

AND MY GRADPA ON MY LEFT AND GRAMA ON MY RIGHT

I WAS LIKE, WHAT!

BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON

I WAS BLESSED WITH A SLAP,FROM MY GRAPA

AND ANIONTED WITH SHOUTING FROM MY GRAMA

AND HE SAID:JUST BI RE MAMAMAMA (IN YORUBA)

 

AND I THOUGHT

BUT LAST WEEK I HAD THE BEST RESULT

AND HE SAID I TOOK ALL I HAD FROM HIM

HMMMMMMM.
