What is poetry to me?

What poetry is to me--------poetry is a revelation, well I don’t mean to be religious here so in simple terms, it is a surprising understanding of a matter that has been disclosed to you. A moment of an epiphany where you can honestly say, Wow I see. So for me it is not just an open statement of the emotions and feeling of what I have gone through or I have witnessed another person go through but in the tranquility after the storm I have an answer. I understand the truth. So it becomes a story or a message that is not a complaint but an answer. It becomes creativity, just like Archimedes I could openly say, Eureka! “I have found it.” And so did Newton and Einstein. Creativity is madness anywhere.
King David and Solomon are the greatest poets that I have learned to appreciate. I like their adventures. You can experience David the shepherd, warrior, king and worshiper with distinct emotions. Even when he has sinned against God you can walk with him in his journey and feel for him but most importantly he shows you that you are human. He also talks of the past, the present and the future and all these are a revelation he was seeing. Solomon does the same, the wise man, lover, the preacher and the king. He sums up his revelation or understanding of the issues of life and wisdom as proverbs, songs, sermons and right judgment. He understood what was right and true while on the other hand he realized what vanity was. So he concludes with this truth “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil”.
That is accountability to the truth which is revealed to us ……by the way truth is a person, the word of God is truth and the word became flesh so it also became a person. Wow! So we can quit our search for truth and just find the person…promise me you will John3v16.

Dreamers

I feel a surge of power to empower dreams, arouse gifts, harness potential, mold lives and cause a people to march into their destiny. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth in our lives as it is in heaven. I am determined to see you the Dreamer happening. See you Fly and soar high. I believe these few words and questions will be life changing. "Wisdom is the principle thing: therefore; get wisdom and in all your getting, get understanding" Proverbs 4:7 I love these words from the wisest man that ever walked on the face of the earth. Solomon got the wisdom even in the things he made mistakes he pulled out wisdom as his guiding map and warned us in so many ways. In this scripture he gives us an open call to step out and get wisdom and understanding. You see wisdom operates in many realm so you can't depend on intellectual smartness because it will fail in the deep ends of life. Therefore, for every dreamer, there is practically no dream that can be accomplished w

Take your Place

The sun shines on those who are standing before it shines on the people kneeling under them. “African Proverb” Today is a great day as you look into the great doors of opportunity in 2010, determine to find your place of value and influence, then you can boldly take your stand early before others do. In winter in Zimbabwe when I was a kid I remember rushing out for break to find a spot for myself in the sunshine. The classes are not warm, there are no heating systems, even at present, so it is a matter of depending on your warm sweater if you have one or if you don’t, the break is like a fire place. So the position you take is crucial in order to get your piece of the sunshine pie and so is life. If you let others stand first before you do you might survive only in their shadows. And of course people that see opportunities first will get the best share. Don’t wait for June if you can do it today and of course the more you procrastinate the more you increase your speed to the City of Ne
