The Unbowed Poet: Recent Episodes
Favour Ong'udi
Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes it feels like we are living for the next big thing or the next crisis. Amidst all this, we sometimes lose the perspective on what really matters,Him. I wrote this piece as I remembered the love God has for us and the embrace He welcomes us with, every time we run back to Him.
It is easy to dilute your truth for relevance and this is a reminder of grounding yourself in His truth and taking those baby steps back to Him :) :)
Soli Deo Gloria!

Let's take a detour, shall we? Let's take a break from all the mushy poems. Let's delve into the unknown. The mind's a weaver bird. Free style it is! I hope that you enjoy!
"What if we just used our words a little bit more?" Ron asks. "That's the thing with silence Ron, silence speaks. It isn't empty. It is full of answers. Silence is also be deafening and brutal. However it comes, choose your hard."
To the lovers and dreamers; sometimes a leave of absence is imperative. Love and light as you figure out what is best for you!
I know why the caged bird sings. Only hope can give it the emancipation it needs. I hear the sound of abundance of rain. Hold on, be hopeful, better days lie ahead!
For if this is it, love will find a way, it always does.
The month of love is here with us! I hope to do some justice to the theme! Stay tuned!
To those days that you show up as a full package at the wrong destination, may you be graceful enough to extend some kindness your way.
It's not always going to be rosy but I do hope that in those days when I am your least favourite person, you will think of me with grace but most importantly, you will remember us this way!
Love and light!
Sometimes, endings do not have to be dramatic. Perhaps we need to be grateful that we met them, got to love and learn from them. That our lives got to expand and flourish as a result of having known them.
The new year is here with us. To year that has been and for the stuff that broke us, we can choose to intentionally heal and work through being set free from them. Here to inspire and remind you that this is possible!
Welcome to Unbowed platform. We are here for creative writing. Let's see how far we go with these poems!
