Been in search of greener pastures Worked the dust of the desert Just to get to that goodness I thought was far away All i needed was to look within Water my grass to be green Shine my light to my dark Be the sunshine to my world I realized I've missed the mark Lived for the fame Made my mistakes Just so I can get to this point Where I can boldly say It's all part of His plan He factored my mistakes Into my life's journey So when I fall I can get back up Stronger than before Now my test has become my testimony   - @obismiles   #Ire #spontaneous #writing #poetry   #words #spokenword #obismiles #writingcommunity #reason #live #love

Love sits waiting for a call All longs for love to call What makes love answer Motive or motion? The call was made And all became slayed Drowned in her embrace The bond is strong Love stuck close Knowing the heart is fickle Choice or decision? Made in a second Distance created The gap widens Who will build the bridge Love or lost? The decision stood still Love became a facade Embedded in the heart of a few The light became dim The voice weak Love speaks from within Only a few listened Cos only the few heard Time became old  Many were lost The tale went round Love was dead Love kept calling  Few heard Still -Ayo Obi

Perfect Imperfection  Lost amidst the crowd  All in the search of my reality I thought I know who I am Boosted about my exploits Pleasures that brought quilt  Moments that pierced through my soul Thought I had it all together I got deeper Couldn't find myself All became dim Can't see far Losing sight Couldn't see the light At the end of the tunnel  The journey became weary Had no place to call home No friend to call my own I struggle as i couldn't make this walk on my own I needed a saviour The one that will fix my sight Light my path And walk with me through it all -Ayo Obi

When it's time for you to leave here When it's time to leave your job When it's time to leave your home When it's time to leave your neighborhood When it's time to leave this planet Make sure it mattered that you were ever even here The only thing we know is that while we are here let's do something with it While we are here let's love and let's love a little harder While we are here let's give and let's give a little more While we are here let's get to doing what really matters   -Ayo Obi Photo Credit:  Brand Quarterly

Lay it down The pain and the shame Resting at his feet Cast your cares and put your worries to vain The one who sits Took it all away Those burdens are not yours to bear The shame ,the guilt Come as you are Rest in his embrace As you trust him to heal the hurts and pain And double the gain -Ayo Obi
