RANDOM WEDNESDAY

Have you ever been in a meeting or a class and the only thing you can think of is food? You are just sitting there nodding as if you are following what is being said when in reality, you are far away. When the moment of your disgrace comes, your stomach will let out a loud rumblešŸ˜Š or you will be asked a question that you won't be able to answer for obvious reasons šŸ˜ŠšŸ˜ŠšŸ˜Š

WANDERING SPIRIT
O wandering spirit of mine
Come back and be in line;
Let me cease to dwell in between
For I am neither here nor there.
Like an absent presence,
I sit, I smile, I gaze, I speak
Though I am far awayā€¦

He speaks; she squeaks
I cannot but see
The happiness that leaks
From all but meā€¦
I canā€™t help my longing for a repast
As my belly rumbles fast
And my mind wanders stillā€¦

O wandering spirit of mine,
Come back and be in line
Let me cease to dwell in between
For I am neither here nor there.

Someday...

Today's post is a poem written by Yours truly about a week ago. Read and enjoy... Of course, a comment would be appreciated. Thank you. SOMEDAY Someday, all will be history The things we know and even our misery Someday, those who raised us Will wonder if they ever knew us We'll be invincible Strangers to the word "impossible" Then shall our worth be palpable. This is not the end I am only navigating a bend This is not all of me I am more than "we" This is not my best I will be better than the rest Someday we'll sing and dance And leave nothing to chance We'll live out our dream And forget tales so grim; Once again with life brim Someday I say Maybe not today But maybe today We could sow for Someday I shall leap, We shall reap If we plunge in the deep Someday, you and I Shall walk down Fame's aisle Someday... Maybe today! Ā©Nikosle...

THE DANGER OF HOPE

Image
"Hope is a dangerous thing..." I know it's a bit weird to see hope described with such a "negative" word but I hope you see what it means by  the time you read through. Like the aroma of "party jollof-rice" after a long day or the taste of a cold drink on a hot day so is the sound of Hope's footsteps outside a closed door. Simply rejuvenating! Hope is indeed a dangerous thing as it causes a man to leap across heavily fortified walls without considering his present restraints. Yes! It is hope that makes a child of the street wear a gold crown and ignore the melody made by his empty stomach. Hope defies the odds. Hope says "Fly with your dreams" when you haven't even learnt to walk. Hope can grow from just a silver lining to a huge ball of fire engulfing all in its path. The question is: Will you fan the dying embers of hope in your heart even as a new calendar year approaches? Dare to hope; a better tomorrow beckons still.    ...

STAY HIGH

Image
    There is a sun in the sky And itā€™s not gonna die Till I can fly To meet it in the sky. Thereā€™s a place I belong: Somewhere I can be wrong And still sing my song Without being treated as dung A black bird once told me ā€œYou will never be What you want to be So donā€™t even bother to seeā€ But I sawā€¦ I saw beauty at my core, I saw beyond my every flaw, I saw the world look at me in awe. Thereā€™s a place I belong Somewhere I can be wrong And still sing my song Trusting I wonā€™t live in the wrong Iā€™m gonna stay high And I wonā€™t sigh ā€˜Cause thereā€™s a sun in my sky And itā€™s not gonna die.
