The kabbalistic home

Posted on Categories fiction, poems, short story

K is for Kabbalistic

Echoing steps at dawn: stories of darkness 

faint whispers of: demons retreating,

a vortex sweeping through: leaving behind a trail of destruction.

Is there hope in Zion?: who shall save us?

The kabbalistic home rages: a crimson hue adorns the skies

lambs and wolves alike are slain: no soul is safe.

Is there no hope in Zion?

Open the pages: look within,

therein lies hope: banish the resounding fear

The throne of secrets: and covert shadows 

shall  be destroyed:  with the truth

There is hope in Zion: cloaked in the innocence and bravery of a suckling babe.

Welcome to my blog, Its lovely to have you here! I am Chioma and I like to think of myself as an avid reader and a non biased writer.I got married and joined my partner to start our own little new home miles away from family (*tears*). what are my ideologies: I am a strong advocate for maintaining balance and modesty in every area of life. I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions but they should never be forced on another. I strongly agree that you are allowed to shout your views at the top of your lungs, just as I am allowed to totally ignore them. However it is my belief that in order to create a home far from the familiar environment one must make certain compromises. Not compromises that change who you are or your principles but those that allow you live at peace with the neighbours. That said, I hope my page brings a whole new perspective to living under a whole new climate. Thank you.

  7. I enjoyed reading this. I wasn’t familiar with the cleave poem so after your explanation I went back and read the left/right poems separately. It certainly worked for me and it has presented me with a challenge to have a go myself at writing a cleave poem.

  11. Excellent Cleave! I was thinking of the answer to where hope may be found…but I believe you already know that one. Also, this reminds me a bit of the book of Job.

  17. I never heard of a cleave poem before this, but you did a great job with it. Making the bold and italic lines made it easy to read. 🙂
