No perfect goodbye...

A PIECE FOR A BEING THAT IS NO MORE...



Her words are still eloquent as I take myself back on memory lane.  Seems it was just yesterday when she was giving out instructions of chores to be done and responsibilities to be fulfilled.
That women with no height and skin that has contorted due to decrepitude  was the centre of my family's existence, the root which held us all together, Mother, her Brothers, and Sisters.
Today her passing still leaves me with Questions of "HOW", a yearning to find an answer to the "WHY IT HAD TO BE HER" which keeps me until late midnight.
Her please for me to study are ever vivid and her voice still echoes within the boundaries of my mind.
The soft pats from her ancient hand to wake up for school, are no more.
Her ever aristocratic hospitality has gone with her to the land where carbon dioxide pollutes the lungs or oxygen is needed to cleanse the body.
Her absence has left a void too big to be filled by another, it is like a lover that has had their heart broken by their first love, damaged beyond repair.
I think of the life I now live without  her, my days have turned darker. it is as if POSEIDON has called a storm unto the book of my life, no sunshine, no rainbows, only thunder and a downpour of hailstones and raindrops.
She is no longer here to be the wiper that engulfed the setbacks of the storms in my life, no longer is  she here to offer me an umbrella in the rain.
Her light heart is no longer in existence to provide my being with the covering to ease my cold feet.
SHE IS GONE.
SHE NO MORE.
The tears I have cried inside have made no use for the resurrection is still not scheduled to take place in this land.
She has gone to take her rightful place amongst the angels, around GOD's ROUND TABLE.
In heaven she now sits watching me.
As I struggle to live this life she has left me to endure.
With no more counselling from her wise being or assistance from her exceptional intellectual mind.
YES SHE HAS GONE.
 But to a place far better than this.
 Where the lion and antelope live as family and black and white know no racial segregation.
Her departure has left vacuum in my heart.
REST IN PEACE GRANDMOTHER.

ITS BEEN EXACTLY 12 MONTHS SINCE YOU LEFT...
