The Best Poem Of Okoyo Charles

The Dark Room

Its was a cold night filled with storms and drops of lashing
waters, my hands wrapped with the shade, it wind brought with
it sounds of whispers from miles apart.. Yet like a stream of
water my thought stirred in search of comfort. As I stared at
my roof each flashes of lightening hit the dark room and brought
me inch close to my comfort. A calm grip on my eyes
dragged me shrivelled into an unconscious peace with a
smile on my face.
At two am, The intense ravage of the cold kept my arms hidden
from the dark. then a strange sound walked in like the steps of
a roaring wind. As the steps draw near my taste filled wit
curiosity, my fingers became visible to the dark and slowly the
lashes of my eyes opened.. A shadow reflection appeared in
my glass floor, His feet were evil. He was wrapped wit a
dark skin and his hands were that of a devourer. My beating
sack grip with fear as he drew near. His eyes were filled
with death as my fear grew like the ravaging cold holding
tight my beating sack. Right in my fears was a word like a
thinning light in the midst of the dark..its says ' But I haven't
giving you the spirit of fear but d spirit of boldness & a sound
mind'. Like a rising flame my fears crept out. Now my eyes
fully open with a bold stare at this figure holding on to my
little light like an anchor in the wind. A drop of lightening
flashed from d sky, this time revealing the face of this figure
to my very eyes, his face was filled with hatred which blew
my little light out. my beating sack almost stopped. At
this point my hope cried like a child, then I heard a voice
this time louder than the first one..it said ' look within you
son'.. I shut my eyes and looked deep in me.. To my
behold I found a great light, it was so bright and in the midst
of it were multitudes of men with white wings. I focus
desperately, then out of the brightness came this
distinguished man with a shining crown, it was so shining &
with an inscription 'king of Glory'. His face were pave with the
brightness of a morning sun and with fire in his eyes...His
hands were love and his feet were virtue. Right in his wings
were holiness and healing. A smile on my face welcomed a
deep breath of comfort. there again his name gradually
came to my beating sack like a creeping water. Now I
slowly began to open my eyes with new set of boldness. I
almost forgot I had been bought into a world where I
operate with a new set of rules.. Only the thought of his name
set the devourer in confusion.. I was quick to mention his
name like a little child's first word 'Jesus! ! ! ! '....I heard a
great sound like a raveling thunder on the sheets of my roof, the
devourer fled in several ways..
All I felt was a wind of peace, again i remember why he is the
prince of peace, His peace surpasses all understand...you
are yet to taste of it if he doesn't dwell in you...who is
he? ...He is the lord of lords..the bright and morning star..the lion
of d tribe of Judea. He has given us a name that's above every other name by the mention of his name every knee have no choice but to bow. He is JESUS. He loves you. All he wants is for
you to give him a chance... He loves you more than you
think you love him. think about it...
