THE GIST OF OUR MIDST

By Tunde Abdulsalam

Welcome to our midst, our 'Splendid Glee.'
Today your breaths and ours meet with ease like the
breeze and sea that kisses each other with peace.

Welcome to a midst that will make your sorrows plea as
they flee because honey of joy will swim around thee like
a hive of honey bees.

Welcome to a midst where breeze is a gentle wind that
sings. Ding! ding! As its ring rings your sorrows into the
wee winds it flings. Your merriment and delight now
links, making your joy rule like one of our kings...

Welcome to a midst that will hug you like 'a familiar
stranger', looking past your image with its dagger, in a
spactacuz posture to ensure 'you' not been followed by
any danger.

Welcome to a midst of the legendary saga, a midst that
will not scare your presence with it dagger and will not
cost your essence any anger.

Welcome to a midst that will take you far like harp lager,
on a ladder to a 'peak' where your joy will dazzle and
dribble like 'Daniel Agger.'
A peak where your joy will never stagger, rather, it will
stride with 'An Elegant jubilant swagger.
