Child Of The Universe Poem by Okim Otu

I am a child of the universe,
Not lesser than the moons and stars.
I am tiny like the grain of beach's sand,
I am huge as the elephant of mangrove forest.
I am salty like the waters of mighty sea.
I am sweet as wild honey from the bee's comb.

I am violent like the whirlwind that humble giant trees,
I am gentle like the cool breeze
That spice up baby's sleeps.
I am beautiful like the sunset in the ocean,
I am gloomy like the clouded sky
That holds back wondrous rain.

I am the ugly song of big eyes owl
That comes alongside unfortunate news,
I am the sweet melody of mother's song
That lures the kid to sleeping bed.
The sound of my voice is a sounding thunder,
The blink of my eyes is as the lightning speed.

I am a child of the universe,
Not lesser than angels,
Just like a shining star
I radiate my creator's beauty.
