Once there was Darkness
Chapter 19 Kol called for Kessa. The air in the library was heavy with tension. He was staring out the window. Her arrival went (she thought) unnoticed. He didn’t look up from the floor as he walked beside her. His hands behind his back. This was odd. He had never done this before. When heContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Waste not. Want not: tooth paste
This poem is being written in stages to highlight the things I do toward frugal living. Toothpaste: squeeze, squeeze you. But never tease me. I will cut you open before I let you be. Give me all your power. Your contents, I will devour. Inside I find more paste. Enough for at lease 5 moreContinue reading “Waste not. Want not: tooth paste”
Once there was Darkness
Stranger in the dark Mecca allowed all people to visit inside its city. It wasn’t until you had proven that you didn’t belong that you were uninvited. Mecca had one jail with 2 rooms. It was not encouraged to end up there. And stays were always brief. Court had been once every 30 days. ButContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
The Climb
On top of the mountain, I climb. To see what I can see. The view is amazing up here. The climb was a little difficult. It was squishy. It moved and made strange noises. Did I tickle you on the way up? Did I step in places I shouldn’t have stepped? Places that caused youContinue reading “The Climb”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 18 Another sleepless night, Kol lit a candle. All he wanted was to kiss Kessa. A real kiss. He had worked up his resolve. ‘Tonight.’ It was Max that answered the call. “Max?” He bowed his head, “Kessa has gone to the mountain..” Kol cut him off, “yes, to learn new ways to preserveContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Testimony Tuesday
Our prayer group does this thing we call ‘Testimony Tuesday’. You can share. Or not. This was one of my testimonies. I freaked out a little. I’m a year older. My body isn’t in great shape; inside or out. I’m single, no children. Who’s going to take care of me as I age? Or helpContinue reading “Testimony Tuesday”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 17 Part 3 “We have two soldiers out there.” Frego sighed. “Why?” “One of them is the man that grabbed your hand.” Kessa answered. Kol walked away. He was in the library when Kessa knocked. “Are you okay, my king?” He started pacing, still upset. “Why did you show me that?” “You know meContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Lead Me.
Dear Lord, I’m standing in the middle of life. Lead me. Which way do I go? Lead me. Will I have enough money when I’m bent and broken? Lead me. Do you have a new job for me? Lead me. Is there a relationship in my future? Lead me. Shall I stay where I am?Continue reading “Lead Me.”
Once there was Darkness
Chapter 17 Part 2 They finished their meal in silence. Once they were done, spoons down; Max and Frego walked toward them. Max spoke. “Everyone has had their fill and we have food left.” Frego continued, “the temple doesn’t need it.” Kessa smiled, “let’s take it to the wall.” As she stood, she said toContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
