In Essence Of The Waters Poem by The Lisa Mona

Iya Oshun has shown the day is bright and promising.
Oh holy spirits roam free!
Bless the land
Of the waters it is nurtured and of such we are recieving.
This river keeps the peace and tranquility
Its healing powers capable of more than any man has ever seen.
For as long as it flows there is everlasting life
Bountiful, youthful and unwelcomming of tyrannies.
Many moons have come and many days gone.
This land has been at war
Many triumphs and sorrows
But in essence of the waters we dared not bow our heads.
We held them high looking out over the horizon of casualties
The river promised the morrow would still come.
And she always did
And the river flowed strong
And our tears were no more.
The sun rose every morning like a flag for the blood of our kin.
Now we are at peace and the river runs calm again.
Our hearts now are full of love an laughter
Our joy shall never again be taken.
All evil is forsaken
Freedom and brotherhood reins here and
Of all the Gods we are grateful
In essence of the waters.
