My Reminder

MY REMINDER Roy Mokoena Silence at night, shadows in the dark streets. The blue skies lit by the twinkling silver-stars. Noiseless, only the gentle ticks of the clock. Alone in the beachfront, I admired the roll of the waves in the North Sea, it created a good music, the magnificent composition with emotive lyrics. Pure and moderately soft, so was the sound. It raised my ears, I bent down (chin to the chest) my eyes lowered with tears, I cried my lungs out. Eye-fluids rolled down and down my toenails, My feet plunged in wetland, trapped in the mud, unable to walk but able to move, I was helpless. With my wings widely spread, I shouted a plea. You came to my rescue, responded to my call. Your presence, good riddance to my loneliness. Your support reawakened me, Im now living. Your consolation cured my wounds, I can walk. I recovered from the feeling of being lost, The Le good life in me, you planted it. The smile you brought, hath reshaped my face! You made me love again- You're my reminder!
