POST-EMOTIONAL NARCOLEPSY

Isaiah stood and then, he stooped;

A seasoned prophet for the umpteenth time, absorbing a message from his Master:

‘Isaiah can you hear me?

I will come to heal the broken-hearted,

Yes, all of them

I will come (and Isaiah sensed him smile)

To set at liberty the bruised in spirit

So tell them,

Tell the bruised reeds to come, with their broken hearts, worn bodies and all;

I will heal all!’

Isaiah stood from his stooped position once again,

Flipped his brown parchment over howbeit, skeptically;

He had to continue now:

For excitedly, the Lord was saying:

‘Emotional narcoleptics can be healed of their visceral pain

They can all have restored circadian rhythms, if they so choose’

Isaiah looked up, this time with a glint of understanding in his eyes

The people around were staring at him as if they could perceive an aura of imminent madness,

He seemed to be talking to himself, but no, he was having a discussion with Yahweh

‘But when are you coming?

When do I tell them you’re coming?’

‘Isaiah, you just do this

Make me proud by delivering this message

And when you see me, you’d smile in full understanding’

This is a sequel to last Monday’s post on emotional narcolepsy.

Emotional narcolepsy isn’t normal, no one should be emotionally asleep due to deep-seated pain or anguish. There is a healer in the house! Part of his mandate is the restoration of emotional health.

Freedom calls out to us people! Let us embrace it

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

GOD; will you help?

Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Picture this: A woman is wheeled into the operating theatre (if you haven’t been in one before, you must have seen one in movies). She has been informed that a caesarian section would be performed on her, for which she has given written consent. And so the obstetrician is poised for surgery. Subsequently, he makes an incision on her abdomen. Cuts through layers of skin, fat, fascia and muscles. Finally, he locates and opens up the uterus. Pause. He says he cannot go on. He is tired of the surgery. Just too tired to go on. He wants to rest. He removes his gloves and gown, walks out of the suite with the woman still on the table, a breached uterus with a nearly non-viable child, whose rapidly declining heart rate screams in horror, still within. Does this make even the minutest amount of sense? I hope not. Because it doesn’t. Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Sometimes,...
