Lewis Nyaga Poet Narrative

The Point of Departure

Depart from the stronghold 
To a place i will show you
Came the message
Through the prophet Gad

No more running and pretense
At lunacy to escape 
From an enemy seeking
To destroy you

Snatched to safety to a place
Where they are unable to get you
There you escaped king 
With your life and an injury

As you Recall the feel
Of the sacred soil
As it runs through your fingers
Promising yourself a return

Having to leave in haste
Lest those after you overtake thee
At the stronghold you had it all
But there was the looming dark cloud

Arriving at a different city
Consolidating your efforts
Uniting your forces
For you not strong enough yet

For victory is granted by the Lord
And the battle is not to the strong
Or the race to the swift
And visions come from the Lord

Said the prophet Gad
depart from the stronghold
To a place of safety
The Lord will show you
