Peace Akinwale 2014 Edited by Funmito Adesanya Immense blowing of the east wind In the cool of the evening Relaxing the nerves even as of old Its whistling accompanied by waves of chirping Creating a rhythm The trees dancing to its tune Likewise the children and the maidens In the cool of the evening When the sun is down, The square welcomes the assembling of the people To the refreshing breeze Sending chills through the spine of the day The breeze unites the people While the old men sit and enjoy fresh palm wine The women gossip And the sucklings play with wrappers between their legs Children build houses in the sand The maidens roll their waists to the rhythm of the breeze and chirping of birds To the admiration of the young men displaying their vigor The cool of the day unites the spirit, soul and the body Fathers feeling proud of their wards Mothers comprehending maternal joys Maidens giggling, smiling and laughing To the witty jokes and acrobatic movements of the young men With little glances exchange from time to time
