As TK takes the stage...

I love weddings!

So, you can understand my palpable joy when Tinuke called me 5 weeks ago that she would be walking down the aisle very soon.

I was indeed overjoyed with the news not just because it’s another wedding, but because it’s Tinuke’s. I mean, TINUKE IS GETTING MARRIED, and to Dahun.

Some four plus years ago, I was privileged to work at close quarters with Tinuke under the auspices of our Students’ Fellowship*, she being the Assistant General Secretary, while I was the General Secretary. And within that one year of our service together, a deep friendship blossomed which has remained strong and memories of the great times keep resonating till this day.

Musings from the Desert (1) │ Muyiwa Olasehinde

So!

It's been a lo…ong while since I have blogged here and it is not unconnected with the myriad of events happening to and around me. Barely do I have time for introspection, as things just seem to be happening so fast and almost going out of control.

However, I have recently being doing some musings and I have decided to pen them down.

My Birthday…

July 22 was the day

HER Majesty; HIS Majesty...A constellation of 2 poems.

HIS COMING...to HIS Majesty

Calm and cool I was seated, Waiting for His Majesty;
Full of beauty, I became the center of attraction;
Never knew how 'exposed' I was; Till men from afar began to take turns...
Turns admiring me.
I was exposed, open to every detriment.

Despite all, I  remained calm and seated...
My gaze fixed in a direction.
Waiting for His Majesty,
...as I would Jesus' Second Coming.

Then I saw a figure!
Distinct and elegant from the crowd,
Amazingly standing tall and straight,
Fear gripped my heart, at his gaze...His gaze was fixed on me.

Chai!
How can these things be!
It's toooo good to be true,
But I have come to lay hold...

I then fixed my gaze on him
Admiring my "His Majesty", my Saviour
Laying aside every weight of fear...

Looking unto him and him alone.

HERE SHE COMES...to HER Majesty

Here she comes...

Making giant strides, breaking new grounds

The cynosure of all eyes; envy of her peers

A little here, a little there...

Here she comes...
Our African Princess, Omolewa mi
Finely crafted like the potter's handiwork
Yahweh, The greatest; She, His best.

Here she comes...
Her Majesty; the bearer of life...
Mother of two; Mother of three
Her womb is the progenitor of blessings
The tiny feeted call her Blessed.

Here she comes...
Drooling mouths ajar; Words indescribable
Blessed is the day I found you,
God's gift to moi - Her Majesty.

Goodbye 2014; Welcome 2015

I really wanted to do a long post about the lessons I have learnt from the year 2014, how we all need to do a big introspection as we begin a new year and how much prospects the year 2015 holds for us individually and as a nation.

However, I have decided to just keep it simple.

So,
Welcome to the Year 2015.

Have a Prosperous Year ahead.

...from all of us at THE DESERT FLOOD.
