Make me a mirror in thy ancestral image
And still my Core with titanium and rage
Make me fearless and fierce
But cautious in grace
Cave my heart from the willow
And my bark trench deep in meadow
Let me see through the eyes of Argus And let Venus have its Path
As twilight flicker are rare
So its thy eternal form
Clothed in wear and tear
Glory in thy humble incarnation
And tussle in thy daily yearns
Light is Light even in the dark.
Sonnet written by Temidayo Nwabueze
