40 years
The sun rises on Judah Feel the dust beneathSoft breeze and gentle peace tread their way through the campAs they face the presenceWhat lies within is only magnified by how the first light breaks the darkness up. Dawn chorus. The choirs of angels announce the arrival of something that will yet be overshadowed by what's to come. But what's to come?
First love
First time I held YouIs it possible to freeze?I felt alivein that all the other days was I dead?I'm anxious to returnin that I hope to never become numbThat place is where I must returnFirst love is electricquickGround it and channel it to light up the cities that sleep
Old man's young heart leading Him back to where fear last lost.
I fancy myself to be a vessel. I'm immortalised by what I do, or by what I spill out. But let me reconsider that word immortalised. I heard a guy preach a heavy message on death. He had an encounter with some dudes who said the black male is a god "we are gods" they said to this fellow who answered them plain and simple you will die like a man. At what point will this generation face the mortal...
Everything I've ever been grateful for
Everything I’ve ever been grateful for My houseMy plantsMy bed that mum and dad builtDismantling the bed and moving it into the lounge where there’s a pretty view at the window seatThe furniture that I never paid for The furniture that I had to buy The furniture I gave away for another first home to beginThe way I hold my head high when others tear it down feetwardThe way I can be still and for...

Everything you need is within
Everyday we wake up, we have two choices before us: Either to despair, or seize the day! In these troubling times of corona, one might argue, we have nothing to hold onto! Well, you do!

When
When did you realize that everything falls apart if you just tug at one loose thread? How did you know to just let it be, not to question, not to pull? Did that Beatles song tell you or is it just a lesson that each one of us needs to learn in our time?
Weary by AshleyCae Lee
It becomes weary to look in the mirror. Shattering glass into ash. Crying out for someone to save, seemly falling on deaf ears. One he hears, (Yah sent) yet I push away; afraid he would be hurt if he got to close. Its my burden to bare.So I knuckle up alone. On this battle field. Fist blacked & blue. Spitting blood upon the concrete. Baring whips on my back. Ashamed to ask him to fight wit...

STATE OF THE ABYSS
The abandoned churches, the abandoned faith - or merely the difficulty in finding the divine, the hidden away meaning of life, the wilderness expanding as largely as the hidden questions of life. The desolation, the heat cremating intention and ambition -
It leaves room for searching the fabric of purpose, under the pressure of a wide wasteland, where nothing is too close to anything, not ...
