Contemplation on the odu Osa Ofun

Under cover of night 

My insecurities launch a

Sneak attack into the

Jungle of my mind

Invading my

Consciousness 

Half paralyzed by sleep

And unable to mount

A proper defense

I'm forced to experience

My innermost fears

Sometimes mundane

Other times terrifying 

My reality is torn apart 

And my soul laid bare

Like carrion for the

Vultures of anxiety

To feed on

But with the dawn

Comes rebirth

As I wake to find

My world is not

So bleak

The light of day

Cleansing my vision

So that I might see a

Path forward 

And live 

another

day
