Love

Propelled by the urge,
My search leaves me disappointed at best

What with all the glitz and glam
Blood and gore is all they make me see.

So I close my eyes

And wonder why

With all your glory, power and majesty

Forsaken, You chose humanity?

As I linger by the Pharisees

Awaiting Your response

I see the writing on the sand

Mercy me I cry.

And so dropping all charges

I kneel right there

The hunter and the hunted
Feasting on lavish Divine grace

Would I have climbed the tree?

Were I the one at the well?

Or would it be me the one

Who betrayed You and left you alone?

Wherever I had been
Forgiving, loving Faithful one, I moan
Snatched up by tender talons
Riding on eagle's wings

Now it strikes me once again
It's the Love I tried to comprehend
Written allover me I find the stamp, the seal
Willfully, no longer mine.

As I attempt a walking side by side
Dark though the valleys be
I'll solemnly await the glorious sight

Of my Redeemer who held me through the night.

Grin

In the lake at Capernaum lived Grin, a fish with an unusually big mouth. It seemed as though someone had placed an invisible magnifying glass there and had forgotten about it. When Grin was a small fry, he tried his best to be liked. Only his ways of 'helping' were not received well by the general public in the school. He was quite confident and thought himself smart until his successive attempts at helping others failed miserably. Once he was caught helping his cousin identify edible worms in the water. Thankfully, just as Ken was about to close his mouth over the juicy worm aunt Saille furiously pushed him away from the hook, giving Grin an ear-full. That was the end of his life as the 'smart-assistant of the shoal' and the start of his 'lonely and loathsome' phase of life, trailing behind travelling alone in the shoal. Usually, his thoughts circled around, "why am I even a fish? Life would've been easier as a turtle." Of course, through all t

The Gen 24 Camel

Have you heard of Isaac? No? You can read about him in Genesis. That's where I am from. I am the Genesis 24 camel. I must have been born way before Genesis 24. But who records these things? Anyway, let's get to the point. I am a well-fed camel. I have been around. Kind of always travelled with treasures, you know. My master's father is the great old man Abraham. One day he called the grumpy old Eleazar and asked him to get a bride for my master. Oh bother! The fuss he made... The day came and we set out. I was waiting for my turn. He loaded up Block with the food and water for the journey. Then it was Ben. What amounts of gold... Man you should see it to believe it. Okay then it was the clothes. You guys may not believe it, but back then clothes were a luxury. People killed to get clothes... I am not kidding. And here was my fellow Ben being given a load of that carry on his back. So I watched as spices and other things kept piling up. I am Isaac's favourite camel an

The Encounter

Don't look at me! I am just a sparrow up a tree. I am not even fit for a sacrifice. It is reserved for those pigeons and doves. I am no good. Just leave me alone. Can't you see, I am trying to hide? Rattle snakes are pretty common out here. Who knows? You might just be one- pretending to be all human. And your being human is no relief to me. If Solo could make the passer -by understand, he would have chirped out the whole thing in under five seconds albeit hidden. But he was too scared to make a sound. All of this monologue was running in his head as the casual commoner strode along after a moment's rest under his tree. That night he had a nightmare. In it, he fell off the tree into a man's hands. He got up with a cold shiver having come so close to feeling dead. For the next several hours, even after the sun had risen brilliantly, he didn't feel like leaving the nest. Hunger forgotten, he imagined the worst. "Solo, you coward, shake off the fear. You
