Homecoming by Dike Okoro

Trees stalk me in sleep.
My silence is the dirge of
A river collecting shadows
Where the sun is a wanderer
And the lonely canoe
A wayfarer.

    This is so haunting in so little words...I absolutely love the metaphor of the river collecting shadows; it's so dark, yet soft and blurred, like life itself
