2022 Muspa Winner
WHEN
by Victoria Ojo Ilemobayo (Nigeria)
Darling,
When all stars are dim
And are tired of twinkling…
When the sun is gloomy
And refuses to give his light…
When your heart is heavy
And tired of transmitting melodies…
Darling,
Like Shakespeare, I will draw nigh
And flood your sour soul with rhythms
Of love.
