Destiny  She is clothed with an inner strength and laughs without fear of the future. eye shine, ignites sparks in my heart. she judges none, and walks with grace.

BENIN Yawning out, A bronze of ancient dawn, Bustling and buzzing with life, Like a swarm of bees; Awkwardly awakened, In Ozolua moat. Bellowing; With spiralling sinews of smokes: Crawling sheepishly. ascending; From Iduh Owina to the hearths of Ekhiadolor; Into the naked ivory of the sky. And zealous feets; Meandering carelessly; Negotiating steps, at the fringes; And coughing locomotives; Bursting like raucous Mushrooms on fertile soil - on the roads.

LOVE "Night that was hollow, Empty space that was not seen, Chant that was so loving, Freedom that I've  seen. Time that passed by, Fate that has been, None will defy, Love has been there.
