Stripped Delusion

Stripped Delusion

It is delusion to rely on a horse for safety,
for all its power it cannot save.-Ps.33:17

1

Contractions of her memories commenced.

Catalogued pictures formerly honey-condensed

rotated quickly rapidly anxieties distresses she heaved

grieving the deceitful steps of ballroom lovers misperceived.

Where did time get a handshake poisoned?

Ordering actors’ guilty meals served to a past tired

of contentious minds winter’s abusive fights confessed

to street corpses in the linens of my life sorrowful alas retired.

2

Pity oh pity, in misery shouted…

Pleading my internal idols retreated

shipping pretty illusions castles amassed

to Sheol whose counsels fallacies my all grilled.

The limping sky screening how valued

my windows of hope have the truth desired

as I modeled Spring away for designers self named

until Gregorian chants my heart to the arms of God transferred.

3

O victorious music! my soul has listened

as you rescued me from the path disgraced

transporting me to adore the Sacrament blessed.

O unworthy me! Like Samuel my archived name called.

O wondrous day! my wastrels washed

my violent manners encouraged glorified.

Anew I walk stroll gracefully fiercely restored

genuinely magnificently as a Lady of virtues clothed.

4

O Summer of life renewed.

Adieu my delusions beloved

Here kneeling in thanksgiving forever stripped

I am of my illusions pour toujours in the ocean drowned

O Shining Mount Sinai, on your ground I stand resurrected

Perceiving the struggles ahead hopeful I am comforted

Dancers of the past my cheek their hands lured

Visions I hold firm of my life transfigured.

Dear readers,

it been few days. Though I have missed updating you, I have faithfully done my best to keep writing.
It has not been easy, but is anything ever easy. In between recovering and fulfilling both my societal
duties and that of our home, inspiration did not lack.

So let me update you from where we last left of - being a people pleaser instead of pleasing the Almighty first.

• Poem 34 was inspired by the gift I have through baptism of being the daughter of the wealthiest King that has ever lived. 143 - 166 - 21
• Poem 35 was inspired by conversations that were being held on vocations. 143 -165 -21

•  Poem 36 was inspired by courageous acts I witnessed around me and how our life can radiate when we walk into what God has in store for us. 142 - 164 - 21

•   Poem 37 was inspired by a priceless moment experienced at a vigil. Today, we celebrated as well the Feast of Mother Mary under her title of Rosa Mystica, the mother of the religious. See the devotion to our Lady under this title is very much popular in West Africa and in South Asia. Today, I ponder on the Crown she gives us her beloved if we wish to receive it. 141 - 163 - 21

• Poem 38 was inspired by Our Lady. See, I have been reflecting, and studying the Immaculate Conception - the writings of St Kolbe awhile ago prompted me to start reading the Encyclical Pope Pius X wrote on the Immaculate Conception - Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum.  I am not done reading it, but what I read so far sparked me to pen. 140-162 -21

• Poem 39 is a short poem on the Eucharist. I was reflecting on the privilege of the Eucharist. What a gift of Life itself.

My dear readers,

Yesterday although an unusual day filled with  new experiences
 was so overwhelming that writing did not happen. For the first
time since the beginning of this challenge, I missed a day.

----Today, I was inspired by two themes;

1. Silence because often times it unveils unheard riches
2. Sickness because such has been my state for the past two days.
