The Poetic Word

Chapters

BY GLORIA O’KOYE

Life has many chapters

Though those chapters don’t represent an entire lifetime.

 

Chapters are unique,

In its buildups, climax

Showing fragments.

Each piece has its story,

Its teachings,

Not representations

Of an entire character.

Since expectations are fluid

 

Constant changes

Only principles remain solid,

Even with that

Risks to be tampered.

 

A chapter has its role

Its purpose

Sets a tone,

But it should never take over.

 

Flipping the pages

Walking on each sentence like a path

Leading into crossroads.

Some parts can be discouraging

Some verses can be encouraging.

 

The good and the bad

the confusing.

Some parts are clearer in their intentions Than others.

 

Multiples rivers

Leading up to the ocean

Where mystery takes a seat at the throne.

 

A mystery only the universe and Creator knows.

This journey is only blueprints from the ones before

As more be added for the generations to

Come

 

So, they won’t have to hit the stumbling

Blocks

 

For they would on the paths that

Were paved generations before.
