Silent Cry by John Paul Kayuni

Rivulets of tears

descended on my cheeks

As mourned I your death

so abrupt

Washing down did they,

the dust chips

That I gathered as I crept

Uphill only to find you

Lifeless

Glued in my mind

Memories still fresh

Of that but, one sad day

When came everything to be useless

Wobbling with me was the car

In the dusty meandering road to Misuku

In the midst of sorrow stood I

Weak and helplessly cried I

For your departure was

But a blow to me
