Full Stop Poem by Sir Tshiamo Modise

Bought a pen, got a page and met a stage
Clouds of our memories formed and my soul smiled before ink could wet the page
It is an odd norm that whenever my soul smiles
I put a full stop and nothing I write afterwards

I had thought of creating a path to my soul by writing about you for you
The page that had only a full stop on it was confusing too
As I sat there, sense arrived
“Do not despair, ” he said

Words exist in the beginning, actions in between and memories at the end
The full stop is God who is everywhere the beginning, throughout life and beyond
