RESILIENCY


Tender offshoot dances to the wind,
Naked to the stars,     
Beaten by the rain, trampled by man.
Yet, even yet and yet it defies circumstance!
Desperate to survive, it breathes on…
Days recycles to night,
Years breeds season.
In all these it stands tall and defiant.
No longer a tender offshoot,
It grazes the heaven with its branches.
A resting place for the birds, food and shelter for man.

Alas, what a twist of fate!

Pain, a likely desire to feel

-
Hey, I really just got into blogging. After about a while of inaction. I have come to agree that "WHY" is a rhetoric, philosophical word, that we most times don't know "why the why". Maybe that is why we work so hard and long. We want to create a dream that births another dream and another one. Yea, that is it! Life a cycle of endless dreams. But if dreams are meant to be birthed and fulfilled, then why do some lose theirs in prime? Every work and prayer suddenly coming to a halt. The closer it was yesterday, the further it is today. One dream begins the cycle. Matt wants to get into college to pursue a career. Matt gets into college, he works hard to come out tops. Matt comes out tops and gets his dream job.

Matt is suddenly gunned down in the grocery store on his way back from the dream job. Dream dreams ends. Whether its love,money, family ...

Uniquely ME Who am I? What defines ‘ME’ or My life? Now, then, or soon to be? My hopes, dreams and fears? Do they really define ‘ME?’ No others eye can feel or see What is on the inside of ME. I am a million pieces A puzzle that’s for sure Even I don’t have the picture Of who, I was before. All those pieces! Not sure if I have lost a one or two For try as I might, Some of those pieces Just won’t fit together anymore. You think YOU have problems! Where did I leave ME behind? I’m on the inside looking out But, all I see is YOU And YOU, I cannot tell, Are YOU like ME? Can YOU weave words like a seamstress? Or know the colours of the morning dew? No, WE are not like, For I am Uniquely ME. Me, I am free and unrestrained Me, I can create colours in the rain Or catch the breeze off mountain tops You see, I am, uniquely ME. MY path is set and following I walk Putting pebbles to mark...

FOREVER TRUE

-
Words, Then statements. Lines of promises, Paragraphs of precepts, Books of biographies, Of the faithful and the fallen Displays of wrath, And those of love. Step by step detail, On prosperity, of the soul and health The fall of the first man, And the victory of his 2nd The slaughter of beasts, And of the woman's seed. The stripes of the martyrs,  Imprisonments and deliverances. The water turned wine And the new tongues after an encounter The prophetic utterances And their fulfillments The army from lifeless bones. The rewards, The coming of the King... Sapphire
