Grace the land of the undeserving; The place for the unrelenting, And a place of refuge for the wistful and dying! An arrow shot through His heart; Still His undenying Love couldn’t quench the cart. More often than not he pulled away the strings to let; Why He did so I can never know.. Saved me from myself, didn’t bring in the snow. But once in, I think I can finally tell; The reason why I sometimes fell. Because He wanted me to come to terms with the fact, That I need Him more each and every passing moment; And that’s the story of unfathomable Grace! Written by Ewoma

Abandoned...yet not abandoned! That’s what it feels like when you are faced with the stark reality of wantoness. You wonder if you’ve been left alone, To tackle the abnormality that never seems to recede back to the path home. Yes it feels like you will never make it to the other side of the world of plenty and abundance; Grace and mercy; Laughter and peace; You have been abandoned to fate! But you will survive the tricks and the trends.. And it’s only a matter of time before you realize; That’s He’s been standing there all the while, Even closer to you than your own breath! It is a known fact that you have suffered a great deal, Enough to the detriment of expectations. Be assured that you have come through no matter what you think, say or feel- For in you there’s a testimony; No one can give on your behalf except you! Written by Ewoma

Sitting at my table, I wonder what in the world is going on.. Really don’t have much to do or say. But my heart pounds in expectation, And anticipation... Of what might happen in the near and now; “Go for it”, one voice keeps saying; “Stay away”, another weeps loudly; Yet my finite mind keeps crying the opposite... If only I knew what the future entailed; I would be certain to dance with joy and exhilaration, At the prospect of becoming the”bride”, I The one and only! Forever with you, oh that I pray daily; To grow old with you, what an experience rarely! Watching the light break at dawn; While ushering in a glorious morn. And that too should be my earnest desire; To be the bride at day, To be the bride at night; To be the bride come what may, o precious one I pray! Should it ever come to my hearing? That you need a friend who will be there all enduring; To spill all the dreadful agony; This too will be my privilege and a rare opportunity; To grieve and to h

Whisper my name o lovely one, And my heart will answer your earnest desire. Living my life next to nothing; That come what may, we will always be together. But loving you has made my world so elusive; Oh what a joy that brings so exclusive! Though we sometimes make choices that do hinder; Yet our lives here and now will make up for yonder. Feeling your heart beat next to mine so strong; That in all these you will always be mine to dine forever. To be the promise kept over a period of time; Only to explode in the face of the bold and the beautiful! Yes it’s a beautiful thing to want to know you over and over again; But the test of time shall reveal what really lies beneath the skies.... Nevertheless, I still love you! Written by Ewoma

Lied, Ananias and Sapphira died! The truth they didn’t heed to learn; A reputation they weren’t interested to earn. These are profound lessons we so often choose to receive; And by the Spirit we do also perceive, To do that which is always acceptable and right; Yet not by power nor by might. Written by Ewoma

Are you broken? Yes I am!  Now, how would you know? Can you go through the wilderness on rainy days and live on locusts and husks of maize? Can you wear clothes made of animal’s skin laced with determination and doggedness of faith? Or are you still in the cradle of comfort and delight listening to the sounds of uncertainty and doubt; Fearing the unknown and begging to be rescued from your own imaginations? Brokenness is a thing of the heart; And until you know without a doubt that God is really able to do what he has said He’d do, Then you will continue to grapple with imaginations in contrast to condescending generations- Only getting to your destination, if and only if you are truly broken!

You thought it would be okay; To slip and just walk away. But little did you know that your heart will be longing for a touch, From the one you so secretly and truly admire.  I thought I could just stand there, And wonder if he’d ever have the courage to tell; But he never did yell, Even when his eyes seemed to always stare! It was a moment in passing that day, As our hearts beckoned to each other; Yet neither of us had the nerve, Nor the courage to serve. Now emotions are escalating, Our tears run freely through the pillows at night; Wondering what could have been, If you and I had taken that bold step in time; We would have been rocking each other’s world, Totally blasted in the love that we so desperately feel. And so it was never a moment in passing that day; But an opportunity of a lifetime missed, That only the hands of time if reversed, can ever revive! Written by Ewoma

Once in a blue moon, One gets a rare chance to dance to the tune. But if only you knew, The Name behind the new, You would have ganered up your strength, And cooked the meal- And also offered the drink! Because, as at the time, He passed by your house, He was looking for whom to bless. But you didn’t envisage He would be one wearing such clothes of adversity, Needing help from you still lingering in obscurity! Yet, He had come with a message that could have shot you to the stars; Still you couldn’t decipher how that could ever be, Because you didn’t entertain the Angel in the Stranger! Written by Ewoma

There’s this stuff called creativity, And this has to do with your identity. There’s something called innovation, That brings you nomination. It’s not about following a trend, Till you get to the end. Or following a superstar, Till you end up in coal tar! It’s all about being creative, And this time, also innovative. There’s something you’ll find, That suits your creative and innovative kind- And that’s your mind! To get to your mind, You will need a tool. And you will find, That this makes you look like a fool, But you’ll always be so cool! Writtten by Evezi
