THE POSSIBILITY BEYOND DEPRESSION

THE POSSIBILITY BEYOND DEPRESSION

It is a mystery; like something made up Evading the understanding range of hordes Experience - the only way to strike chords The worst state of mind a human can reach A dark and forboding heaviness that breach; An immoveable gloom that incapacitates I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy This dejecting thing called depression; Holding me a slave, owning me in supression When this darkness descent and covers me It's chokehold so strong and to the tee I believed it would choke the life out of me Breathing became hard and did I struggled! Then I recall to...

EYES ON THE PRIZE!

EYES ON THE PRIZE!

To every one of us who didn't give up  When life gets painful and wearisome To every one of us who keeps courage Despite burdens weighing us down; Know that we are the light of the world  Continuing to shine His light  Shining forth hope for the world.  So take a deep breath, take a breather, It's alright, it's quite alright to be anxious!  We must push on then, onward in His Word!  Keep at it, friend; eyes on the prize!  Keep running the race, in His grace!  Keep pace with the Word, against the world We are strengthened for...

TRANSITION

TRANSITION

There was a time when us Were but each among the throng Times when aware not us That our tie in passion and hope Would transit into our fate of union Come the time when steadfast In love our friendship grew With shared joy and pain Time courses on and some more Closer and trusting we become Sharing much more than ever Much deeper than ever before Friendship has evolved in beauty Into passion, into commitment Surrendered we to our desires Our fate: union in wedlock Taking vows over the vow To meld in flesh, heart and spirit Onward together,...

The Storm

The Storm

The storm so familiar, yet so atrocious Brings with it mayhem and sorrow The body, mind and soul-maimed and tainted The storm swept away all good inclinations One’s being and potentials left unheeded Rendering it bare, broken, belied Stripping its emblem, ethics and esteem The shape-shifting storm as old as Man That is neither yearned nor welcomed Wielding its power of misery and apathy Neither demarcating nor Ostracising: The affluent, the destitute, the incapacitated All within its reach and under its spell The blithe, the mirth, the complacency Garnered and guarded with ferocity With egocentric and avaricious traits All razed...

Transformation

Transformation

The remnants of my sin-stained life, The Battles and Demons of my blessed life The Vagueness of my remaining days Unnerves and frightens me time and again Weakens and horrifies me time and again Realization began to finally dawn: These are my trials and temptations Agents that taught me about life and self Thus enhances my consciousness of Him More than I could ever imagine and desire More than I could ever believe and hope. The remnants of my sin- stained life Moulded me to embark on an endeavour Of love, humility and forgiveness Of patience, perseverence and gratefulness The...

The One Thing That Matters

The One Thing That Matters

To some, I may be pathetic To some, I may be pitiful To some, I may be proud To some, I may be selfish To some, I may be obnoxious To some, I may be repulsive To some, I may be self-righteous To some, I may be a lost-cause The 'social animal' that I am Makes what others think matter Much more than I dare to admit But because I was born in Sin Never shall I live up to expectations Besides people only think Only think what they want to think It doesn't matter that I tried and cried...

THE RAIN

THE RAIN

It comes as a drizzle It comes as torrent It comes as it please Defying all human power Bringing with it respite From unrelenting heat Bringing with it joy To the hearts of farmers To the hearts of desert-dwellers Indeed it brings deluge also Causing great loss and agony Breaking hearts and spirits. The rain: antagonistic as it is I love it when it is mild Seeming to reveal the essence The starkness in everything; I love how plants turn vibrant Green, alive and thriving; How they sparkle in the sun Just after the mild rain Reminded me of life’s...

SILENCE

SILENCE

\"Silence is golden\", goes a well-known axiom Silence, I say, can be deafening or defeating Silence, I say, can be toxic or cathartic Must you be silent when someone needs your defence? Must you be silent when you hurt someone and ought to apologise? Must you be silent when fact and truth has been brushed aside? Be silent no more; Toughen up! Speak up! Speak up, Stand up for the Truth; Speak up, Stand up for yourself Speak up, Stand up for the oppressed For the fatherless and the widows Lest The Son be silent on your behalf When the...
