Remember Me Oh My Soul! Poem by Lindokuhle Dawordplaymind Nkosi

Remember me oh my soul!
Even when my flesh separates from you
I beg you not to forget about me!
Even when my flesh chooses to banish from you
Leaving you wandering
Even when the shy sun hides behind the clouds
And never show you any light
Yet you'll always live on in my memories
As I always see you on top of a mountain
Screaming with a snorting voice
That proves you will never be with me on Elysium
As I see you walking like a stray dog
Humming harmoniously
Looking for a place to rest
For the dawn of life has become gloomy on you
But know that you played your role very well to me
I knew life through you
And for that I'm so grateful.

Remember me oh my soul!

It was you who forbade me in walking in dark paths
Whispered in my ears words of righteous wrath
You were holding my hand and showed me the light
You taught me that death is an ensample of might
You helped me to exchange humanity to other fellows
You helped me to breathe love unto other individuals
You opened my obscurred eyes, obscurred by fumes
You gave me hope and promised me of better tomorrow
You told me that after the night, there's a brand new day and there'll be no more sorrows
You taught me to be humble and be gentle at heart
You sharpened my mind
And ploughed a seed of perseverance in my heart
You were so honest and reliable in every way
And I thank God for you everyday.

Remember me oh my soul!

You understood me
Never judged me
And you praised my heart of gold
You were my true friend
When the whole world has turned it's back on me
You were my source of inspiration
You helped me to ease my problems and frustrations
You were my lover
My happiness keeper
I loved you to the moon and back
For you made me vanquish all the complexities of life
You breastfed me with wisdom
And insighted me that the wise can be made foolish in the fool's kingdom
So as my flesh separates from you
And the shy sun hides
Behind the clouds
And never show you any light
Don't forget me I beg..
Remember me Oh my Soul!
