Poem: If Only

If you could see what I see
All your fears would fall to the floor and be no more
How He thought of the Pacific when He created you
With eyes only matched by the beauty of seas
And a crimson of old
Touched with the vibrancy of life in your mouth and cheeks
He thought of the earth too
While mixing chocolate brown with strands of gold

If only you could see what I see
All your fears would fall to the floor and be no more
You wouldn’t ask
Is he handsomer than me?
After sitting at an intriguing conversation
You wouldn’t say
I think you’re smarter than me
After hearing the life stories I share

If only you could see what I see
All your fears would fall to the floor and be no more
And you would know the radiance of your life
Understand the passion of your own heart
Not be frustrated with complexity and brilliance of your own mind
And how your name was not by chance
He thought of the beauty and complexity of creation when He formed you
Oh man called “life,” if only…

Out of Hiding....

Hello again,

This blog is probably one of the best testimonies of my time here in Maryland. It is a chapter that has both scared and strengthened me. I have intentionally kept this blog very private for a long time, not leaving any way for anyone to find it via Google, any search engine, or any other means of searching. For a long time, one could only find this site if I directly gave them the address or they were already a friend on a private site where the address to this site would be posted.

In many ways, I have wrestled with myself and any giftings I may contain in this season more than any other. This site reflects that push and pull quite well. It is not to say that that inner wrestling has ended, but I have come to a point where I am comfortable in entirely owning and moving on from this season.

At the end of this month, I am moving to northern VA to further seek out God. After trying to follow Him for now 12 years, there are some crucial things I realize that I have missed and/or overlooked. I cannot ignore those things any longer and am going into a drastically new experience that requires that I totally lay down everything. Call it a greater attempt to get closer to the true heart of God or a rebirth. I don't know entirely what this next chapter entails all I know is that I am ready and open to being entirely unveiled unto His entire truth. I don't plan on holding onto any type of lukewarm philosophies or theologies that I might have been ensnared in before. My aim is to seek out God and God alone. There may be times where I cannot write on this blog as much as I would like to, but I extend an invitation to you to walk with me figuratively and metaphorically.

As my readers, know that I have loved and appreciated you. Your comments are always welcome as well as your questions. Feel free to pass the address of this blog along to anyone you feel would be interested and/or benefit from going on an adventure.

Yours truly,
Kyera
