Raining glory

Yesterday it rained gloriously and I was seated in bed, next to the window. I starred at the grey sky and the leaves being relieved of dirt, the air become health and mother earth accepted all of it whole heatedly.
Often times we're too sad, too broken, too tired to see the beauty that dwells right there in the middle of our pain. Yes it's raining now but the rain has washed us by making us stronger, cleaned our eyes for us to see better and mother earth, which is our heart has learned to endure.
My brother who was a cerebia Paltic patient taught me a lot in nine years. I'm using was because he died at the ninth year of his life and I hope he is OK with me always using his story to teach some soft persons a lesson. My brother, Samuel was a gift even in agony, couldn't walk, talk, or chew properly but he never forgot to laugh. He knew the true meaning of joy to the full. He was always in pain and could only see things horizontally because he was always lying down and carried around on chairs that couldn't even hold his neck properly. My brother was broken but bright, he knew when to light up the room even in his greatest pain.
Sometimes the rainy days may take longer than expected, don't just sit around starring at the sky and waiting for a brink of sunlight. Dance in the rain, get washed by the rain and accept all it gives like mother earth. That is patience, a good attitude while waiting. I bet it'll rain again tomorrow, what are you going to be doing?

Ahamefuna

  There's something about Ahamefuna that disturbs my spirit. He came home from work like every other day, tired but excited to see his family. He put up a long grin that almost looks fake, holding a bag of groceries I had asked for earlier in the day. The atmosphere changed with his presence, the feeling of dear gripped me tightly but I remained calm anyways. I kept asking how his day went and he kept ignoring the question like he didn't hear what I said. I kept looking at him, looking for traces of anything that would confirm my fears... He kept starring at me like he had a thousand words to say but was held back by a border. I could see him from the side of my eyes as I cut vegetables for dinner. I couldn't place my hands on this mystery but it felt like he was aloof. He offered to cook dinner with me and even put the kids to bed. My husband is the sweetest man I ever know but he associates cooking with the female gender, I didn't mind because I love cooking. He spent...

Peace in Chaos

 There in her chamber, seated on her big gold crested cushion, she felt deep peace. Nothing on earth would compare to this calmness that her heart has attained. She dragged in sweet air, held it tight as if it was her last and let it out gracefully as she rested on her cushion. It won't be long before she looses consciousness.  The events of her life in the past few years felt like dark magic. She shut her eyes to see her loved ones, this was the only way she could remember their faces and feel their warmth for they were all connected only by the soul.  She smelt her youngest son, he was only 9 months old before he passed away. "Strange world" she muttered to herself and smirked. It was hard for her to have lost them but the sting of death didn't affect her anymore, she has lost everything that could cause her pain. She felt like her husband was talking to her, she jerked up with eyes wide open in surprise. But he wasn't there, he had died from lung Cancer. She le...

Tower

 She walked into the room after that heated argument with her eyes fixed downwards on the tiles. She struggled with her facial expressions in order not to look frail. Her face were tightened up like a warrior and her stomach lurched. Her lungs gave little or no room for air to pass. Her head was hot and her feet tingled. The air in the room became musty and unbearable yet she poised herself like the queen of England gently to her seat. She wasn't going to break the bricks and layers of pride she had built, she definitely wasn't going to let tears melt down the cement she smeared all over her tower of pride.  From her side eye, she could see him pressing his phone, oblivious and graceful. Full of peace and calmness. He was oblivious to her tower and while she burning red hot inside, he giggled at the pictures in front of him.
