The Sun Came Poem by Tony Adah

The sun came at the desired time
To warm the cold morning dews
Of the mother's tears
The sun came
To dry the wet Sheens of the errand woman
Who wailed and wept and mourned
For her barren womb
It came to put a smile on the face
Of she who couldn't eat or who couldn't talk.
It came
It came to take away the agony of
She who farmed without someone to eat
Of her tools,
It shone
It descended from the valleys of the
Woman's thighs
That helpless bouncing human complete
With the umbilical cord and the
Placenta,
He yelled at the wicked earth and the
Tender hands boxing the air.
That was the sun
That shone on the woman's face
After all yearning and travails
Nature to last bestowed a glimpse of
The sun's ray
That came in the morning and
Illuminated her face,
That was her rising sun.
