Masego Nkuna Poet ABC

I Died Once

I Died Once 

At this very occasion I witnessed my spirit decent from my flesh hurried to meet darkness as I lost breath 

At that very moment a combination of numbness, sorrow and grief couldn’t be articulated from the strength I was soon to lose 

I swear I saw light meet darkness in a split 

I died once 

The spirit connecting my body and spirit disconnected leaving my body going on a shut spree 

I knew I would never enjoy this sweet thing called life 
Or at least I knew I couldn’t enjoy it this time 

At that very moment I hungered for light to be shone on my life 
To light these warm memories life once shed with me 

I swear I died once 

Grief’s bitter cold and sadness consumed me like a stream sweeping away the ocean sand 

My numbness was deep, and my desperate body needed a replant of hope’s little seed 


Pictures of amazing people I shared memories with flashed with the slow deem of light like a candle slowly put down from the chase of light 

I died once 

For a moment I switched to this happy place where my peace was restored 

Remembering my annoying laughter and all I ever did on this earth 

I cherished my honest, caring and loving spirit along with the souls I met in this journey of life 

The spring’s cheerful flowers then brought me back to life as I was about lose my breath completely
