Black Poetry : IF ONLY FOREVER (Dedicated to my cousin who is in a coma 8/10/01)

[Ms_MochaB]

Creating yesterday today in my mind ... Taking a short glimpse of what we left behind.

Rebuilding our childhood and the things we used to do ... The times we lied about being sisters, and when we shared each others shoes.

This is hurting too bad to write, but I must continue on with this plight. You breathed your last breath of air, long enough to hear the cacophonious screams of another family, not wanting that for this family, you came back ....

It was a joy to know that you were still here ... But then they said it ... She's Brain ... and then stopped.

I didn't hear the rest ... I didn't want to hear the rest ... I know that you're still with us ... I know that you still hear me when I'm crying and singing to you ... Don't leave me.

Then it happened, you started breathing again on your own ... What heart .... What desire .... I only wish it was forever.

MY HUMBLE HEART GOES OUT TO U

AS I DROP MY TEARS SLOWLY
SHOWING I CARE FORTH LIFE
BE WIT THEE WHOM CAME TO PASS

PRAYER BE WITH U IN THIS DARKEN HOUR
I LAY MY FLOWER UPON U WITH GRACE & FAITH

SURELY HE HEAR ALL CALLS
SO SORRY TOO READ SUCH I KNOW ITS HARD

my deepest sympathy..

would it soothe the pain
in having my deepest sympathy
wiping the cares of the world
away of all its energy

as death takes course
with feelings of remorse
helping the true visionary

in this i pray
my deepest sympathy

try

to think of the good times
cause the negative energy
can drown you, meaning
death or illness is part
of life, not a very good part
so think about what you can
control
and think about and cherish those good
thoughts about your cousin
and let that carry you
cause you hate for someone you love to be in a situation that you can't help
it's frustrating
so keep the love in heart and worry about what you can control and don't be so hard on yourself
help your cousin by keeping your head up
and keep writing


peace and love - Da So'ja gives praise to a cousin

PEACE
