See!
To you
He comes!
Divine treasure
Swaddled in tenderness
O how heaven’s top secret
Blossoms at your very heart
Securely amid your exotic lullabies
The world knows it not in the meantime
That the Star of Bethlehem resides within you
And that your prominent place within the eternal fairy tale
Is yours and your kin to savour and retell endlessly ever after!

I had never dreamt of a lifetime as a swimmer
And definitely not in the dominion of mermaids
Mermaids of the deep
And wheels
It all began with one wrong decision
That early morning
On the fateful day unforgettable
Of the famous
Now infamous operation

We quickly gathered around a visibly distraught Joe as he narrated his sensational ordeal.
“What an embarrassment. What wastage squander! My moment. The glory that never was. I have no idea what happened right there. Everything backfired at the very last moment. All my senses crumbled at the countdown. I just couldn’t keep my head when it counted most. It seemed all I could think of was the idea of elephants drinking water!” Someone within the room struggled with much difficulty to hold his laughter. Continue reading “THE SPECTACLE OF THE NATIONS!”
Growing up wasn’t always easy, especially walking at night! Such dreaded moments were synonymous with unique first hand encounters with the world’s extinct and mystical species such as the dinosaur, angels and demons.

A flashlight presented a magical touch in a moment like that; tranquility, order and clarity instantaneously restored. Continue reading “A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH”
I know he is before all things and in him all things hold together. When all is said and done, there is such a place as prominence in lowliness. Better still, dawn after absolute dusk.
