[POEM] THE JOURNEY TO THE STRANGE LAND



I struggle hard with sleep as my heart heavies with deep grief

Whenever I remember the out of sight of the loved ones

My weep fills the morning twilight

When the fascinating memory of the loved ones refuses to renew into reality

My head aches and my bones moisture like sack of soaked cassavas

Whenever I recall a day my lovers would reciprocate the sad feeling

At my absence while embarking on this strange journey

Alas! Men rise and fall like winter's grains

The clergies' accounts of the journey offer me hope and hail the inner wound

While the account of other persons foster the sore to an open wound
