I war dead, ever since Adam died
I remained dead until Christ came
Until He arose from the grave
I remained dead yet alive, for
for the thirty-three years of
His earthly ministry
Then Christ willingly died for me
After three days of being dead
He arose, I also rising with Him
Rising in triumph and glory
Triumphing over treason and death

I woke up today reciting a rhyming poem
It went on forever, I forgot I was home
After reaching the bathroom, it evaded me.
I cannot even remember the subject after my pee
This epic poem must not have meant itself to be
Because I cannot remember for the life of me
anything about this epic poem that went on forever
when will I remember this sixty-five line poem? I guess never.
A mother's love for fledgling
pride and honour to her depth's core
~ larger-than-life future about to unfold

If deeply calls a bard for epic muse,
like newborn lambs that crave their mother's milk;
if feet that lightly trip along with shoes
of Mercury whose message speeds, like silk,
with lightning's sudden flash and peals of thunder;
if fate told jokes, regaled with humor's laugh,
then life, Greek tragedy, with comic blunder,
mocks man's pride, hubris, ego, using his gaffes
(with bathos). But high drama's theatric peak's
for bards and Elizabethan playwrights
who, like seers, see with vision, craft unique,
wond'rous, and grandiose plots of lofty heights!
But to give up this dream that seems sublime,
I'd wish for, still, love, children, peace, and time.
There are few heros in my life
Baba Kauro is top of the ladder
You are the Uncle turned father in the
African setting
You were the father I sought for and found solace
in
You inspired me in ways my dad never did
You believed in me when my dad had doubts
Your trust and encouragement were the fuel and energy that fired me up
It's been 33 years that you left, but your legacies and impact is still traceable
I wish you and your brother my dad were here to see your children, nieces and nephews
The motivation and inspiration has paid off.
I am eternally grateful to you both.

The singers sing of me,
Of my trials and my triumphs,
Of the battles I have faced,
And the victories I have won.
They sing of my journey,
Of the roads I have traveled,
Of the people I have met,
And the lessons I have learned.
They sing of my courage,
Of my faith in the face of fear,
Of the strength I have found,
And the hope that kept me going.
The singers sing of me,
And as I listen to their melodies,
I am reminded of my own story,
And the power of resilience.
For in every note they sing,
I hear echoes of my own voice,
And I know that I too am a singer,
In the grand chorus of life.
When life brings you down to your knees,
And you feel like there's no way to appease,
All the pain and the hurt that come your way,
Remember one thing, you will rise again.
When the world seems too dark and cold,
And your heart feels like it cannot hold,
All the sorrow and anguish that you're in,
Remember one thing, you will rise again.
The road to redemption is never easy,
And you might stumble and fall along the way,
But with every step, you'll become stronger,
And inch closer to rising again.
So hold on to hope, and hold on to love,
And trust that the universe has your back,
There may be clouds that hover above,
But they will clear, and you will rise again.
When it's all said and done,
I know where I will be,
Wrapped in divine love and light,
In eternity, I'll be free.
For every battle fought,
And every tear that fell,
I'll be rewarded with a gift,
More precious than any wealth.
When it's all said and done,
My faith will be my shield,
And in the arms of my Lord,
I'll find my perfect yield.
I'll look back on my journey,
With joy, not regret or strife,
For my reward will be eternal life,
The ultimate prize, the gift of life.
So, let the trials and struggles come,
For every step I take,
Brings me closer to my goal,
To walk in heaven's gates.
When it's all said and done,
I'll rejoice with arms held high,
For my reward will be eternal life,
And never-ending love and joy.
My heritage is a rich tapestry
Of stories, cultures, and history
It's the land of my ancestors, who
Lived and loved and worked so hard
The stories of their struggles, their joys
The courage and strength that they employed
I'm proud of the legacy they left behind
And the strength that I share in their kind
A heritage of courage, of resilience
A people with a will to survive
It's a legacy of strength and pride
That I carry with me all my life
A legend of a man,
His name was known throughout the land,
He had a heart of gold and a passion so strong,
His courage and strength could never be wrong.
He worked hard and gave his all,
He had a spirit that could never fall,
His name will always live on,
His legacy will never be gone.
He was a leader and a teacher,
His wisdom was a great feature,
He was a man of integrity and grace,
His life was one of greatness and space.
He was a legend, a hero and a friend,
His actions and deeds will never end,
His life will always be remembered,
His legacy will live on forever.
A new beginning is here,
A chance to start anew,
A chance to make things right,
A chance to be true.
Break away from the past,
Leave the pain behind,
Forget all that you've seen,
And open your mind.
Take a leap of faith,
And trust in yourself,
You know what's right,
And you know what's best.
Let go of the fear,
And be brave and bold,
You can do it,
You can reach your goal.
The future awaits you,
And it's yours to take,
The power is in your hands,
It's your life to make.
I rise from the ashes,
A phoenix in the sky,
My spirit is unyielding,
My courage never dies.
Though life has been hard,
I will never give in,
I will stand tall and strong,
My determination will win.
I will not be broken,
I will not be bowed,
The winds of adversity,
I will not allow.
My strength will not waiver,
My will will not bend,
My courage will carry me,
Until the very end.
Immortality is not a thing to strive for,
It's a gift that's given to us, evermore.
For in our hearts, we all live on,
In the memories of those who are gone.
We may not live forever in the physical world,
But our souls will live eternally, unfurled.
For every moment we spend in life,
Will be remembered in the afterlife.
Though our bodies may one day die,
Our spirit will never be denied.
For our souls will live on and on,
In the hearts of those we have loved and gone.
So live your life with a passion and a fire,
For in eternity, you will never expire.
Your legacy will be remembered for all time,
Your immortality will be yours and mine.
I am God's experience,
I wonder how my poetry breathes into you...
I hear souls scream like diamonds breaking,
I see bodies move slowly into smooth suffering,
I want life to love my sorrow,
I am a victory alive in volatile grace...
I pretend that fatality is a warm mercy,
I feel that I have a right to express my pain,
I touch the heartbeats of hope with hesitant eyes,
I cry blood of sensitive awareness,
I am alive in the heat of paused death...

I find myself wandering, wondering in this quiet state of empty emotions. Confusion of what to do next, preparing mentally, emotionally, physically.
So much to do, yet so little left untouched.
Moving slowly as if all life is standing still just waiting for something to move. What? When?
Anxiety sets in and, it can't be addressed. Just Surrender! It's OK to surrender all things for a moment, a place in time.
Let this present moment be filled with peace, and wait; Wait till you are beckoned to continue on. Then move with power, ease, and contentment in your choices. You will become the hero in your life. Just watch!
