My Thoughts on Life and Faith: in poetry and in prose

  • Celebrate the Difference

    Yellow. And Red Green. And Blue Cream. And Coffee Milk. And Chocolate White and Black and You and Me And everything that’s in between Contrast and complement Within the space that fills the earth. The space. That fills That occupies. Unseen Untouched. Unmoved. Unchanging. Unending Transforming. Upending So we are treading. Softly Unknowing. Uncertain We […]

  • Exert Yourself

    As we run our race, it is important to cultivate the art of exerting ourselves. No one will prosper greatly who does not exert himself in his profession. This statement is especially true of Christians. We must exert ourselves in studying the word of God, every man for himself, and in continuous prayers, every man […]

  • Acceptable Service

    Our service to God is from the spirit, the inner man. The value of our service and sacrifice is not in the time we spend, or the strength we expend, but in the surrender of our hearts to God as we serve. We cannot serve God without total surrender of our person to God – […]

  • Inspiration

    Inspiration The beast just visited me It wore a hood And spoke in hushed tones Seemed in a bit of a hurry Told me to gather my belongings And leave   I ignored it And rolled over on my bed Not even sure how I heard it It spoke a strange language After muttering for […]

  • Purpose Talk

    My purpose in life is pretty straightforward, and one way to put it is this: to represent God as accurately as possible to my generation.

  • Losing Fear

    I was a captive. Of fear. My fears – they held me by the throat And threatened to let me go If I ventured beyond the boundaries They lovingly set for me. You see, I was raised to court safety To keep a safe distance from trouble To use my senses, and ensure I am […]

  • Why does my heart beat so?

    Why does my heart beat so? When thoughts of you do cross my mind Why does my heart beat so? When mention of your name is made Everywhere I see your face And when it’s you I think I see Why does my heart beat so? Toyin Taiwo © 2012

  • What do you see?

    WHAT DO YOU SEE? Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are northward and southward, and eastward and westward. For all the land which you see I will give to you, and to your seed forever. (Gen 13:14b-15, KJV) What do you see? It is an interesting fact to note […]

  • Go Away!

    Go away. Go away. We have decided you are not real Neither are you true or to be reckoned with You are only what we make you to be You only have whatever life we give to you When we are not here, you are not here either We are your God, your life-giver And […]
