The Day We Shall Part Ways Poem by Jacinta Nabakooza

The day we shall part ways
Will come like a rainbow
which no weather forecast can foretell.
That day swift like lightening
Will burry the memory of you
And I will not be there
To see you weep for me.
I've known tears:
I've known countless tears ancient as the garden of Eden and older than the flow of Kabalega Falls.
On that day you'll scream
Thinking it's a dream
You desire to wake up from
And hoping to hear me call your name
But forgive me I'll not call.
I'll not turn behind
To bid my farewells
For I'll have rested
And silent I will be under my grave.
Do not Linger on
Just walk away.
-Jacinta Nabakooza
