Tears rolled down my right cheek
Ignoring the make up that was on fleek
At that very moment,
I had searched all over for a solution
But only a pollution
Of doubt was available
Just like the roundabout
That God made for the Israelites
When they wandered for forty years.
A quiet still voice clearer than ever
Then spoke in my distance
"I am your strength and song"
It said to me.
Before I knew it
A strong breeze
Pierced right through my cold heart
And left it into broken pieces
Then just like a flash
There were no more traces
Of the broken pieces
But there was another bash
And an overwhelming power
Crowded my entire body.
I fell down to my knees
And just like that,
I stood up still like a tower
That will never tire.
"And now I am in you and you are in me"
I Am Not Alone
A phase that I
Would meditate on
Day in, day out
But my question was
Did I have enough revelation
Or was I in relation
To what it means
For I would chase it
In times of lost and fear
But in times when people were near
I would push away His hand
Since I was no longer in tear.
As my mind jingled to this,
Whilst walking home
I took the shortcut to the dorm
Where I stayed.
With the sun roasting
On my beautiful skin
And my earphones plugged in
An unfamiliar presence
Rushed past me,
In a blink of an eye
A charcoal black hand
Dragged me down
To the ends of the world
"Let me go”
Was my cry
As I then saw a sharp knife
Piercing right through my precious Life
My eyes closed
And I retraced the same words
"I am not alone".
And inside of me a fire began to burn
A fire that was intimacy
And screamed for mercy.
My eyes shut open
And I realized that a fire surrounded me.
But this fire was not just any fire
But a fire that lifted me up
And did not burn anything up
I then looked up
As the clouds raced across
The sky and smiled
For it was then I realized
That I had gotten the revelation
And I was now in relation
To this phase
"I am not alone"
ChoicesThe smoke covered my eyes
And blocked my vision,
As if I still had any
While my mind kept racing,
Creating frightening fantasies,
That only destroyed my realities
I couldn’t breathe,
I couldn’t think,
I couldn’t feel.
I felt paralyzed,
Drained,
Exhausted,
But from what was my question?
Many asked
What happened to your soul?
What happened to your spirit?
But I was as clueless
As them.
As more gathered to see my shame,
I became more ashamed.
For I knew this old self
Had to wear away,
For the new to awake.
For awhile,
I had been lost,
In my own problems
Created fake illusions,
That this world
Would give me what I want
Yet I was the one to give it
What it needs.
So now my choice was between
The world
And the word
Of God,
For the world
Seemed to pass away
But the word of God
Remained the same forever.
The Word was God
And was the same
In the beginning
With God
All things were made by him
Exempting nothing
It was the life,
The life which is the light of men,
It was the light,
The light that darkness
Could not comprehend,
It was the freedom
The freedom I was searching for
It was the truth,
The truth that will liberate my soul
And it was the grace,
The grace that will build me up
It was peace
Peace, that surpasses all understanding
It was Jesus
The one who gave me a new name.
Hope DelayedA cry,
For removal of scales
From our eyes
The pain from
Our bleeding souls
So lost, we are in this world
Of indifference
Comparison,
What ifs,
A language so familiar
To our lips
I can’t,
A message,
The voice
In our minds
Hope deferred
Hearts sickening,
Yearning
For good medicine
To sweeten the soul,
To lighten the blacken valleys
Where our feet
Have walked.
A twisted time
We are in,
Where Confusion,
Clouding of consciousness,
Has left
The spirit deserted,
Grieved,
Falsely arrested,
When blamed for the
Choices we have made.
The power
Misused,
A life
So selfish inspired
No longer aspiring
But respiring
Toxic conversations,
Friendships, relationships
Limiting
The evolution
Of our minds.
GodfidenceI have Godfidence that through Him
My life will never be so dim
I have Godfidence that it is no longer about me
But about His wonderful Son t hat gave me a home
A home of sanity
A home of peace
A home of Joy
A home of blessings
A home of revival
I have Godfidence that character is better
Than reputation
Because i am like a mutation
With change burning inside of me.
I have Godfidence that when Jesus said it is done
He meant it
And with Him we are seen as one
One as in Him in me and me in Him
One as in when He prays I pray
One as in where He goes I go
One as in what He says I say
One as in who He loves I love
One as in nothing can ever separate us!
Love of GodLove of God
Is unending
And never fading
It reminds you of
The Father's love
To see us back in His arms again
That is
The day of Redemption
Where all our temptations
Persuasions, situations
Where placed on the feet
Of the one who is called Love!
Love of God is
Free Of charge
And incomparable
And Just like the parable
of the Good Samaritan
Love of God
Is that love
That makes you
Love a brother
Love a sister
Love an enemy
Love your loved ones
Love a friend
Love a neighbor
Love of God
Is 1st Corinthians 13
And not Friday the 13
Listen.
What I am trying to say
Is that ;
Love is not fear
But love is fearless,
It holds
No grudges
It knows no failure,
It knows no color, race, religion
No class, no past, no future
No doing, no achievements
No favorites, no confusion
No boundaries
You name it.
But it knows one thing
The power of the Cross.
Secret PlaceQuintessence of ineffable calmness
When I dwelled in this spacious place
I now call the "secret place".
A place i have started to know more about Him
Like the back of my palm.
A place of Life
That is so meaningful
And that makes me thrive.
A place where everything he is, is exuded.
A place I can now boldly say
I am no longer shaken by the storms
That have placed thousands in tombs
Because of what my eyes have seen,
His revealed glory!
