Before I dieA Poem by MbaliEverytime we choose safety, we reinforce fear.
The place is dark, so deep and drenched
My heart palpating, my body so sweaty Realizing its nothing, but a nightmare I jump with fear, for the things i have seen Its quiet in there, echoes of your voice shadows everywhere, but no one is visible I just kept staring, to see another fellow round and round i turned, no one was there In circles i walked, scared of my own steps Up and down I looked, the walls were falling The tunnel so dark, but still you see shadows Is it a movie or mystery, I kept wondering as I walk Far away i see light, and the walls started shaking My feet stood still, i can not take another single step I call mom and dad I call my siblings names, i called all names I know And A weird sound came out so loud, don't be a fool you are here alone Shaking, shivering and sudden tremors, my own body felt heavy I see fire and water at the same time, I see land full of rocks I fear where to go and then I screamed, and then i thought am I dead In a minute or so I felt cold, I breathe in deep to release the tension I turn around and look up, I see a beautiful sky Then rain start falling, thunderstorms and lightning so scary I run to hide under the rock, my heart felt what if the rock fell Weakness all over i felt, with fear my heart bit stopped I walked a step and down i fall, i look round i see heaven Oh poor me so bad i have lived, sins i have done so plenty Don't know if I am good enough, for God to grant me passage On my knees to ask forgiveness, was too late my time is up Then i see shadow and the door open, I see light and no one else I open my eyes i turn my face, its six o'clock my watch says where am I and what happened, on the floor beside my bed To drown the fear that woke me up, I stood up fast for a glass of water I think of my life and the things i have done I don't know if the good i have done is enough With fear deep within i kneel down and say Its just a dream before I die © 2011 Mbali |
