CHIT-CHAT WITH MY SHADOW

New moon, full moon

Burnishing its course through grilled glass

Outlining every angle of an ill-defined shadow

I hear the sound of the wind

I feel it too

I know it’s saying something

But I am raw to its meaning

I stay put

Clinging to the gloom

Perceiving the cost of befallen doom

Awaken me from this nightmare

Shell out this toll of despair

Sing a song

And let me hear it

Stretch out your hand

And ask me for a dance if you see fit

Drown the anxiety engulfed in my sprit

Let me find a joy and happiness so exquisite

Light up the sun in my heart

Disregard the fears within my soul

Bring in the radiance

To shine in my world as dark as coal

Eradicate the torment

Let me live happy ever after and not just a moment

Mute the screams, the yells, the mourns and groans

And let the beauty of the silence serenade my being.

Lord,

Cover me in the shadow of your wing,

Eternally,

Let me soak in the warmth of your ecstasy

Taking endless pleasure in tranquility

The darkness is swallowing me quickly

And I may not make it back up

Unless you come to the rescue

And help me.

THE WHISPERS BEFORE THE SHOUT

Hey you! 😃 Has anyone checked in on you today? Or better still have YOU checked on you today, or lately? If not, well then this is a reminder to do so; to create time in your schedule to hold your heart, mind, body and soul as an offering to God in prayer and allow it to be searched, comforted, and mended so that you can operate wholly and holy. Quarter one of 2025 is coming to an end; a palpable shift hangs in the air with testimonies within it being starkly different. For some, the journey has been a smooth glide, a serene cruise through calm waters. For others, they are overwhelmed by life having launched into a sprint at the beginning of the year; and now, they are finding themselves breathless amidst a landscape of boundless potential. I discovered something interesting lately; while many of us are knowledgeable of the truth and necessity of slowing down, there is a fear and guilt attached to this God ordained activity called rest. We are afraid to rest because we fear that if we...

27:8 'THE SOUL LEVEL'

Photo Credits: @KilographyKe at Qontent Studios One thing ‘independence’ teaches you, is how you never want to be alone. I shared this sentiments with a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago, after my move out of home. It was supposed to be an exciting period for me, but incidences and circumstances can take a tremendous turn sometimes. Your introspection somewhat feels like an emergency surgery from discovery of ‘internal bleeding.’ That’s how I’ve felt for a while, like I was to be worked on or else I’d lose my mind or eventually myself. And so I wrote to a dear friend who out of the usual did something for me that to date remains priceless. Something that reminded me, why I call a countable few, my friends. It wasn’t almost 10 minutes later, that she rang me. I couldn’t respond because I was held up in a meeting. So when I got home, with a smile managing to form on my face knowing it took a lot of courage to face the day, she called me back. Frankly sp...

THROUGH THE LENS OF GRACE

This right here is a post I wrote on my wall a few days back… “I am probably going to be hated for saying this but for real it has to be addressed. It is sad and rather painful that of late, the trend has been, to celebrate more Baby showers BEFORE we celebrate Bridal showers. Where did we go wrong?” It doesn’t take a one-on-one appointment to have someone open up about their past. Try make a statement in relation to it and you will probably witness a side to them you never thought existed. It will then dawn on you that not everyone who has a glimmering smile on their face, a drop-dead gorgeous body and attractive personality, has been like that from the beginning. There’s been a growing trend of more baby showers before bridal showers. Many have said its normal, others have said it’s worrying; others have insisted it’s the last days and we need to repent and turn from our wicked ways. In as much as I agreed, I was convinced I hadn’t yet received an appropriate a...
