A Statue Spoke Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

A Statue spoke
And it was night
And it was dark:

‘Sleep Earth, sleep, ’
The Statue said
‘better sleep always
And sweet song
As lead on yours
Eyes weigh.’

‘I am the one who suffers
Seeing you suffer
I am the one whose heart
Speak sad when it see you
In woe’

‘I am the one who commands winds
I be the one who commands clouds
I am the one who commands rains
I am the one who the night hears
I be the one who advisor be to Dawn.

‘I am, I am,
I am the One who speaks
As the heavens speak out loud
I speak in heaven’s voice be
One with it, One for All, All for One.
I am
I am.’
