Sonnet 14: Dawn On Earth Poem by Folayemi Akande

When the sunrise clambers the hill
When beneath the tide reflects it hue
Resting its glow on flowe's like dew
With tainted daylight as mildew.

The sun will smile to centre earth
With warm embrace on priest like waters
To save daylight sons and daughters
And restore earth's ablutioned faith.

The day shall overthrone the night
That stale moonlit might take a phew
From cloud's Incadescent bed light
Prying like a horse oblique skew.

The day from the night's belly grow
And through earth shores sail to and fro.
