Obegi Oyori Poems

Brilliant little bird so sweet,
I love the way you sing to me,
Resplendent, vivid and bold are your feathers,
Delightful is your soft sweet voice.
...

I watched them
As they gathered around the fireplace,
Chanting, songs of self praise,
Conspiring against me.
...

I love life,
For the unrest and pain it showers me,
And the sorrows it bestows upon me.
...

I looked at her
She looked at me.
I lowered my eyes
'Did it hurt' I thought,
...

You held my hand,
When I was near the end.
You were so kind,
To give me hope when I was blind.
...

From the first time we met,
Right then, I knew you'ld be my best,
Ideal friend you have been to my heart,
Everything we did together was bright,
...

Strained for nine months
With lots of patience
Endured many difficulities
All because of love.
...
