In Fate's Hands

In Fate's Hands

I dedicate this poem to my friend, Kerry Morgan, who's going through a turbulent time.  May she find the peace that will soothe her kind soul. And to anyone going through something similar, my prayers are with you as well. May God Bless You All! 

In Fate's Hands

By Nomar Knight

First it started with an invader

A lump not noticed before

Didn't want to be a crusader

But curiosity rose to the core

So after many weeks of debate

You gave in to that little voice

May as well seek your fate

After all it was the best choice

Got poked and prodded all around

Until it hurt and became numb

Inside hope began to drown

Making you wonder if you're dumb

The waiting was really bad

Your mind roamed with scenes of doom

Moped around quite sad

Didn't notice when flowers bloomed

Tried distracting yourself with hobbies

To make the time pass by fast

Dreamed of endless halls and lobbies

The smell of death your shadow casts

Don’t want to die you say

For many good years remain

Sunny skies may as well be gray

The waiting drives you insane

The more the dreaded day closed in

New symptoms began to rise

Made a pact you won't again sin

Hoping He'll ignore the lies

I can't die yet you see

There's so much I've yet to do

Longer life I beg of thee

Won't bite more than I can chew

The day has come and you can feel

News of your fate is written

Shaking hands rip the seal

Time to know if you are smitten

Regardless of what it says

Realization strikes your mind

To live out the rest of days

Giving love and being kind

For you see we all desire

To live forever in this place

And forever will transpire

When we join his loving Grace

Let's not forget to pray for Kerry and anyone else in the same situation.

A Knight Chills poem.

Touched

Touched

Before you think today's blog is about something inappropriate, erase those awful thoughts off your mind.  In the past few days I've been touched...by kindness.  First, I found out that Knight Chills won another award, of which I will provide details tomorrow.  My good friend and writing partner, T.F. Walsh gave me something called the versatile blogger award.  That was very kind. 


Today, an interview I did with a wonderful woman from South Africa, the gifted poet, Biola Olatunde, hosted me on her great blog, Ephesus: Center Stage.  If you'd like to learn more about me, visit her blog here.


Biola asked some probing questions and as a result, some of my readers have been enlightened in finding out what motivates me to write horror, poetry, dark romance, suspense and supernatural thrillers. 


This wonderful poet, Biola, connected with me through Facebook and we have become good friends.  There were times when either one of us was feeling down, thanks to life's roller coaster ride, and after reading each others words, we felt our spirits lift to new heights.  She has been a wonderful influence on me as have a number of amazing writers/people.  


Thank you Biola for being the wonderful person you are.  And thank you Knight Chills readers for sticking with me even when there were many negative elements swirling around you. I leave you with this quote and then please feel free to read my interview at Ephesus. 

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.  It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.  We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.  ~Albert Schweitzer

Thank you all for your support.


Catch you on the dark side.
