Heaven

Kofi Ania Listowell 1991 (Kumasi)

Free verse
hold my hand
lead me into the pair of beauties
carry my soul into your holiness
guide my steps
so I slip not into hell
bless my tongue with your fire
let me feel the warmth of your heaven
enslave my soul for your worship
take my soul and make me dwell in heaven forever.
