Poem(-ish) – Make it rhyme!


The day I met you I had an epiphany
Your skin radiates in resplendent ebony
With a voice resonating in amazing symphony
To your endearing qualities I give testimony
Our souls in synch: perfect harmony
‘You are meant to be’ said Mr. Destiny
I had flashes of a wonderful Holy Matrimony

Then came a ‘little’ acrimony
From the ‘ordained’ arrangement, you sought mutiny
You left with a bye-bye ceremony
And my heart left in agony

I walked out my front balcony
Raised my hands and voice in somber litany
My body trembled with violent tetany
The day I met you was bright and sunny
The day you left was dark and rainy
Nature recognized the difference and irony

Don’t be discouraged, whatever defect you have if you can’t change it then take advantage of it. What you lack vertically, you can make up horizontally. What you lack in length, you can make up in width. What you lack in colour, you make up in contour. What you lack anteriorly, you can make up posteriorly. What you lack superiorly, you can make up inferiorly. What you lack outwardly, you can make up in...

THE POWER OF GRIEF: IN THEIR GRIEF, THEY FOUND A COURSE (PART 4) – PARALYZED BUT NOT OUT!

Image
Can you walk around freely, jump or hop around without pains or stress? Do you know how valuable it is to move around effortlessly with your legs? Have you hurt you foot before and then suddenly you move around sluggishly with pains? I guess you won’t be so bothered because when the injury heals, you can freely move around again. But does that not give you a glimpse of what it feels like when an able-bodied grown man suddenly finds it difficult or impossible to walk around as result of an illness or an accident? How scary the thought would be that this is not a temporary injury but a permanent life-altering disability? How aggrieved would it be if one suddenly finds out that he or she can’t just stroll around anymore and that he or she have to move around with a wheelchair or the with aid of prosthesis or arm supports! Would that be the end of the world? How have some individuals in the past dealt with their paralysis? In their grief over the loss of some or all of the ...
