Smashing through my heart
Like a bolt of lightening
The news broke my heart
Sawing through the vault of my soul
The terrible news was unbearable
It crushed the roof of my soul
Totally exposing my naked soul
On that fateful day,5th Sep,1993
The death of my mother
A senseless explosion in my life
Came early in my youth
Leaving a gapping hole in my soul
And a teenager full of questions
The terrible nightmares unbearable
The loss of my mother
As terrible as it was
Was a getaway to a deeper excavation of life
In my search for comfort
I stumbled across a vast wilderness
A new world of the spirit uncovered
A beautiful land of comfort discovered
My soul drifted towards this forest of lights
A new beginning was unfolded
And God came into my life
The newfound life
Erected a roof over my soul
A golden dome of strength
A bastion of peace and stability
