Alive ... at 5!

To the reader. From the Gospital poet. I feel sometimes that I really need ... to keep my mind & body busy lest I start to think with thoughts that do not serve me well. It is when I get a little "disturbed", that I begin to reflect upon my early child-hood life with my "precious" Grand-momma in the Southern state of North Carolina. I saw the JOY that my Grandmom had, by seeing how she lived & I said to myself..."I WANT THAT!" As we all may sometimes need a "pep-talk", I remember the words from the book of Romans 10:17 that reminds me :"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" . I learned how to be the "child" ... that was a good "listener" . More about my Grandmomma on the back-cover of my book called: BEFORE MY TIME. Thanks to all & enjoy the read.

Club   Heaven .
Started I ... to realize;
Since the "Tender  -  Age"  of eleven.

"Splendor"  came to me in - a - small Church ...
There with - which was locatedc in the then
"DEEP - South"  of the mouth-of Mother Earth.
For this is where ... thus  I  dared ... began my Birth.

"Splendor" ... in that WONDERFUL Name ...
Jesus the Christ  "GENTLE" He came ... to  -me just the same.

Even though I ... "barely knew" ; 
Just - what "life" meant & what to do?

"Splendor" ... entered my EARS ...
At the early - age of Five.
So ... much ... so ... then
I knew that I had come alive ... at 5!

In the year of 1955 ... 
I  "GREW" STRONGER  the LONGER Grand-momma
Took me - to Church ... Oh , I felt alive ... at 5!
Way - back then, who knew that my Going through ...
Trial(s)  &  Tribulation(s) ... would make - me the "proudest" ...
Among God's  CREATIONS - who knew?

That I would HEAR the Club - Heaven Choruses ...
So clear, so bright and beautifully AWSOME Sound 
Of the "OH Most Holy"  instruments ...
"FLOATING"  on the Divine Only Rhythms-Angelic Voices of
PRAISE ... in my early days.
Giving ... PRAISES - to - the Lord most High,  in most ... Holy ...
of PLACES?

...HEAR  the Club - Heaven Choruses.
So ... CLEAR, so ...BRIGHT  and  BEAUTIFULLY Awesome
Sounds every morning, noon  &  night ... that's  ALRIGHT !

Club Heaven
Started I ... to realize since - the "tender-age" of Eleven.
Just another "someting" to keep my FOCUS ... on Holy Heaven.
It ... keeps ... focus... on my HOME in ... Heaven.  Amen.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
