Read more: Keep time!I’m not a poet. But I am mesmerized with how words come together to evoke meaning. Those that dimple everyday. Those that promise things simple, golden and gay.

Keep being limitless!
Read more: Keep being limitless!I dreamed things would be different. Children would laugh and I would sit back and sigh. There is no place like home. Not in form, for some. So thank God for all the roosters, turkey, cows goats and monkeys we saw along the way. Also thank you to all the trees that swayed around, ushering…

Keep breathing again!
Read more: Keep breathing again!The plans for this year was light. I planned to walk through flames, to risk the fires that burn, even in the cold, just so I get to the forest of light within. That was the new year plan. In one week, I have been informed by the year that this one will be a…

Keep what God brings!
Read more: Keep what God brings!I knew there would be stares. I expected it. I knew many would never get his ways or ask questions about his tears.
