Olodumare!
I salute the earth, salute the sky
Salute the ethereal hand
Holding the invisible pillars of the vocal cord.
And who mans the cord, but Olodumare?
O-lo-du-ma-re: static as a mountain,
A-te-rere-kaye:
Sole wearer of the sizeless sky:
I salute the earth, salute the sky.
From the beginning of the world has been the world,
Poetry is the word that stands by God.
I commit my craft to the search of the light,
I eye the heavenly poets
Singing the golden word from the time of, Be!”
Let my eyes open to the lexis of gold
To see the stainless blood in the rejected stone.
