DESTINY? The gate keeping promises, Ten times stronger than any risk; Yet, the Keeper watches the tall of every dream's birth. An image, takes one afloat, Without belting as far as one could; Falling and sinking, who could find one drowning?

METAMORPHOSIS Potter's mortals; larva, nectar and marbles. O marvel, marrow of rejuvenation, In Warmth, Creator bleeds a worthy sculptures. Mortals' ulcer; sour, a taste from the nipples, Quickened, the pant of a mother's past. Healed, the past of a mother's cry. Potter's cry; patience, carefulness and sacrifice. As old as the past, as new as the presence; Larva, forsake not the Potter and the Marble, Nectar be praised a fall as a fortune. ©Alade Obafemi Babafemi
