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!
