- Q7765042 abstract ""The Snowflakes Sail Gently Down" is a poem by Nigerian writer Gabriel Okara. It contemplates its speaker's feelings on having left Africa and its culture.The snow flakes sail gentlydown from the misty eye of the skyand fall lightly lightly on thewinter-weary elms. And the branches,winter-striped and nude, slowlywith the weight of the weightless snowbow like grief-stricken mournersas white funeral cloth is slowlyunrolled over deathless earth.And dead sleep stealthily from theheater rose and closed my eyes withthe touch of silk cotton of water falling.Then I dreamed a dreamin my dead sleep. But I dreamednot of earth dying and elms a vigilkeeping. I dreamed of birds, blackbirds flying in my inside, nestingand hatching on oil palms bearing sunsfor fruits and with roots denting theuprooter's spades. And I dreamed theuprooters tired and limp, leaning on my roots –their abandoned roots –and the oil palms gave them each a sun.But on their palmsthey balanced the blinding orbsand frowned with schisms on theirbrows – for the suns reached notthe brightness of gold!Then I awoke. I awoketo the silently falling snowand bent-backed elms bowing andswaying to the winter wind likewhite-robed Moslems salaaming at eveningprayer, and the earth lying inscrutablelike the face of a god in a shrine.".
