SURPRISE…

 

Surprise…

The occurrence of the unexpected

Destabilizing stability itself

Like the sudden disruption of a calm lake

Hit by a fast falling meteorite

 

Surprise…

A milder word for “Shock”

A sudden or violent commotion

For which even shock absorbers

Prove painfully inadequate

 

Surprise…

When happenstance meets unpreparedness

As when death comes a calling

On he who lives everyday

Like it’s his first

 

Surprise…

When the unimaginable manifests itself

With the swiftness of a blink

Goliath certainly had a surprised look

As he fell to David’s slingshot

 

Surprise…

A window to exploit vulnerability

Indeed by the element of surprise

Mighty armies of renown

Lie fallen by the sword of the weak

 

Surprise…

That component of life

That leaves you with a pleasant feeling

When suddenly you happen on that bend

You initially thought was your end

 

Surprise…

While you hope for the best

Prepare for the worst

That way, when surprise surprises you

You are as prepared as you can possibly be

 

Surprise…

About oviemordi

Me? I am just a guy who is so so loved by God and knows it. I swim in the shoreless ocean of HIS love everyday and give expression to that love by scribbling away on my pen (actually i type on my keyboard most times). Writing constitutes an act of worship for me and i do it with such glee! It is my hope that a soul or two would read my writes and by them, see, know and understand how so loved they are.
