The Vision of Her
Funny thing happened this morning… I felt as if I had died, when I woke up It was like I was a corpse moving around the living Like I was not felt but I was missed instead Funny thing happened to me this morning I felt the world inhale me Pull me up its nostrils and ingest me in its lungs Slaps of fresh storms winds, I cheat you not; I could not breathe nor turn I felt my flesh rip out of my bones, And my bones chip away to expose my soul I felt no pain, just calm instead Funny thing happened to me this morning I knew that I had gone, But I felt safe somehow… when I saw her vividly like a mist Funny thing happened to me this morning I saw HOPE, as all I knew collapsed She lay lifeless deep in the darkness she was plunged… Funny thing happened to me this morning I knew that I could not give up I was not scared, just brave instead © Namatsi Lukoye
