Contemplation on the Odu Ofun Ogbe ( Ofun agbe)

I am adrift on an ocean of thought
Trying to find my north
In a starless sky
Nothing but horizon
In every direction
I pray the sun has not abandoned me
That she guides me out of this darkness
Towards the shores of half a century
Three thousand possibilities
Flash before my eyes
In a single moment
None more clear
Than another
There is not much I can say
Except I am still sea worthy
Despite my missteps into
Raging tempests
I will listen to the winds
Whispering the secrets of sirens
To find the tower of Pharos
That it may pierce the darkness
With a golden path
To safe harbor
Thank you for staying by my side
You are the wind in my sails
On a still day
