I Lost Them Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Along the way
They disappeared
No messages left
I saw their footprints
As they vanished into the sand
With no traces left
By the blowing wind
I could not find them
Searching through the piling time
I found no traces of their existence in my life
Our communication has been terminated by the hands of time
Our relationships have been erased by the powerful monopoly of success
Our connections have been severed by the sharp knife of accumulated wealth
I stand on this sand dune of my life
Surveying the horizon
With the hope that one day they'll understand
That I hold dear to the memories we made together
I cherish the laughter we shared during our "innocent" years
Dedicated to my lost friends
