Sleeping Silent Sea Poem by Tony-Cemaluk Egbuonu

Yesterday I passed away
Yes, I did while crossing the sea
You saw my setting sun
As a sinking sinker

Tomorrow or tomorrow's tomorrow
I shall be buried alive in solitude
Floating like a flotsam
For your silence

Weep for I drowned in your depth
As though one entered
To be interred without debt
In the soaked sepulcher
Of a sleeping silent sea

Be blinded not by sleep
Before slick Pirates
Mourn until you wake up at morn
Whence I shall leave this
Your watery tomb to live

Growing and glowing anew
In a lively clime within
Unscathed and not scorched
Renewed, as arisen son
Covered in moon-like halos
Or radiance of a rising sun
