"SOON, GOD WILL TOWEL MY TEARS AWAY" BY SULAIMON KHALID

Soon, the storm will pass,

and my morning light,

will shine bright and bright.

The scars of yesterday

that still last,

will get healed,

and I will be sound again.

The pain that haunts,

and my heart that aches,

will soon be a story

for yesterday.

Tears that fall like rain,

will cease to flow

and show.

Soon, God will towel my tears away.

Soon, the weight of my grief

will leave,

and I will dance amapiano,

without hearing any beats.

Soon, joy will flow

in my vein,

like blood,

and memories that will remain,

will be the scene

I loved.

Things that I still find dark

in my life,

soon, there will be light,

both at the start

and end of my tunnel.

I'll hold on to hope,

and trust in His might,

for He's the only one

that can win me my fight,

and make things right.

The poet persona says he believes that God shall turn the former's sorrows to joy. The speaker employs a brilliant connotative use of the word, "Towel". The bard says he would not lose his faith.
