SILENCE

Silence, Silence is what I hear
Deep in the darkness, sounds the heart beat o f a little lad so cold, yet so dear
Silently, she's sinking deep in fear
Wondering what  tomorrow may bring as it draws near
Slowly, the minutes pass by
Lips sealed
Nobody really wonders why
They are all deep; swimming across a beautiful sky
Dreamland,
That was it's name
Yes,
I recall
Because I was once there as well
Flying high
Dancing with the stars
Amused by the moon
Basking near the sun that beat my physique
Like it was 12 noon
But wait,
What's that sound?
I know
It's the sound of my thoughts generating an ugly past.
Take it all away
Where are the words 
For me to utter and pray?
The past drives me up the wall
Paralyzes my tongue
I can barely speak at all
Submerged in unusual pain
In my world so small
I wonder, oh how I wonder
Does anybody see me at all?
"Help,"
I cry, "Let me out of here"
Guarded by anguish
Sealed completely with a tag labelled, "Perish"
And you wonder
"How is she still breathing?"
Death beckons...
It sits right beside me stating, "Life is better"
But then,
Life too comes in and beckons me
Telling me,
"Child, Be still, God says, You're safe with me."

TOO MUCH

  Why is it so easy to say I’m fine? Hardly do you ever think about it, Effortlessly, it slides from between your lips. Especially, When all that lies around you is witness to the total opposite. Seasons really never last forever, There are those when the party just won’t stop Then others when silence invades, the kind like pin drop. A silence to kill or a silence to heal, A silence that kills, echoes various unheard voices, Screaming piercingly on the inside... The result... is a temporary brain freeze. Silence that heals fabricates unheard melodies, Calm, gentle that are soothing to the soul. I then wonder and it dawns... this is just too much Or is it?   Do I fear too much? Do I care too much? Do I worry too much? Do I question too much? Do I think too much? Do I foresee too much? Do I trust so much? And if I do, will I hurt, just a little too much? Do I wonder too much? Do I give too much? Do I expect too much? Have I love...

FROM THE COMFORT ZONE TO WHERE LIFE REALLY HAPPENS (OUTSIDE IT)

Image courtesy of www.loc.gov A question was asked to me a couple of weeks ago, phrased in this way…   “What things do you see in your personal life where you might be resisting change?” (Think about this for some time before proceeding to read and hold on to your answer) Frustration tends to build up when things do not go as expected. Change is something each of us responds to differently. There are those who see it as an adventure. Their adrenaline shoots up at the thought of experiencing something or somewhere new. Others like myself take time to embrace it, calculating every single step as we move along. We like to know the details of where we are, what we ought to do, and better still what the future will hold. We dwell mostly in the questioning quarters than boarding the bus headed to “new”.  The word “new” scares us. We’d rather be comfortable with what we know, than be put in a place that expects us to figure things out on our own; and if it takes us ...

MANY QUESTIONS & ONE ANSWER

I’m a few years into what is known as the critical decade of life. On some days, this journey is a smooth sail, you kick back, relax and you enjoy the blessings that come with being “young and free”. I admit though that clarity on life seems far-fetched on some days and you pay a hefty price for being “young and foolish”. For days on end, I have wondered what God’s will is; for my life and particularly in scenarios that seem to suck the life out of me. In distress, I question “What is your will in all this confusion Lord?” It is hard to comprehend God Himself, which affirms His word that echoes that His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Ask me how I got this far in my life, and I’ll probably be quick to let you know “By the way, I too do not know, it must have been and still is by grace, which is sufficient.” Sometimes I wish I knew what next; but eventually when I get to know, I go ahead to inquire the purpose behind the current circum...
