Doorway Effect

Image
Crossing the threshold  Stepping into forgetfulness  Before nothing turned to something  Smug, plain, expressionless  Smile, laughter, brightness  Obstacle, tears, painfulness  Joy, effortless, boundless  The room of remembrance  Standing at the doorway  Crossing the threshold  Stepping into forgetfulness.    @Sue.Ketter

All I have is gratefulness  For He gave me you, An all-encompassing,  Unconditionally unperturbed love💋. Through all that life throws at us,  The one who shares this ride with me, Walking forward always.       @Sue.Ketter       

If Ever

Image
If ever I leave before you do Tell me, I did well Plant a tree at my resting place  Perhaps a white bottle brush  Let your tears water the seedling And when you're done  Do say farewell And Let me go My sun may have set But yours still rises In thine heart, keep the memories  Smile when you speak of me When you miss me Find me in the blooming flowers As you sit under the shade And let me go I did not leave you behind I simply was called home  This journey's end was a beginning of sorts And as my body feeds the tree My soul flies free, content I loved, I lived I've gone from this place  Let me go       @Sue.Ketter

The Extrovert Loner (Author: Chemasop Cheruiyot)

Image
They call it isolophilia, I just call it being me. An extrovert loner, free, Dancing in the space I am most at ease. My best friends are introverts, the quiet kind, Who speak with signs, murmurs soft and shy. I love how they listen as my words unfurl, Talking less, their silence reaches the sky. I chatter on, their eyes meet mine, A nod, a smile, a whispered sigh. And when the silence comes, I know it's fine We're both okay, no need to ask why. Sometimes, I need my time, to drift away, But they don’t chase; they understand the play. Our bond runs deep, no words required, A friendship quiet, yet so inspired. There’s Sue, the introvert, pure and true, And Judycos, a balance of both hues. In their company, I find sweet peace, In stillness, I reflect, I find release. For in these quiet hours, I meet my Maker, I find myself, no longer a faker. I strengthen what’s weak, adjust my view, Grateful for moments that feel so true. So when I slip into solitude, don't pester ...

Moonflower

Image
On the day's end When the horizon meets the sun I watch as the day gives way to the night I indulge in the twilight In awe of the Creator And in my reverence of Him I hold a vesper of Thanksgiving For when I seek my world All I find is His Grace On my Knees, I stand Blessed, I am His child By His Grace, I am covered I think myself a moonflower Blooming at eventide  Was His Favour for me.   @Sue.Ketter

The Soldier Within (Author: Chemasop Cheruiyot)

Image
I walk like a soldier, steadfast, bold, With a heart full of truth, and a soul that's untold. You may see me harsh, but look past the mask, It’s not anger you see—it’s the weight of the task. My words are few, yet carry weight, Like a commander's voice, firm and straight. I guard my trust, as the scriptures say, From Micah’s wisdom, I will not stray. Approach me kindly, with honest intent, For how you come speaks more than what's meant. Lies stab like needles, hypocrisy burns, Pretenders—oh, how my spirit turns. I live with purpose, grounded and true, Yet many misread what I hold in view. Not temper, nor rage, but discipline’s face, Guided by God and His infinite grace. As soldiers trust, so too do I, Not in men, but the One on high. Lord, make me one, if it pleases You, Let me lead with valor, in all I pursue. I pray for a place where values align, Where truth isn’t weakness but a strength divine. May my heart never wander, nor my feet lose their way, Keep me f...

Heraeth

She walks with a skip in her step  There's a joyful demeanour to her spring Lost in thought, she seems gleeful. She's elacric for the days ahead  But in her eyes, there's hidden longing  Bursting to get through the smile. It shows on her face from time to time  She stares off wistfully for a moment  Then pulls back her smile just as quickly.   @Sue.Ketter 

Echoes

Image
To have a dream in a world with no hope Is what she feared the most And yet she dreamt  Of the day they'd be reunited To see in his eyes a reflection of her To breathe again. She's lived long enough She's forgotten to feel alive What they've taken from her She's lingering in between  Longing and despair  He was hidden in memories past. The moment came The universe did not comply She saw in his eyes a determination  To make her world hopeful  They took from her  As they had taken from him. He carries the hope for her Though fleeting  She smiles  Her heart remembers  There's familiarity  She's hidden in memories past. @Sue.Ketter
