This is an inspirational blog that utilizes the medium of poetry and creative writing to tell stories.
Ball up your fist and punch. You anticipated the arrival of this moment all your life. To fight for what you believe in. To stand on the battlefield of dreams. To shed sweat, blood and tears on the ground that will determine the outcome of future generations that have yet to set eyes on the world as we know it. So give it all you got. The struggle is spiritual but the aftermath is impossible to quantify.
Love always, Esha

Time to reflect is a wonderful phenomenon. There is no perfect person. No absolute moments of triumph. In battle, the conqueror defeats the conquered but no matter the gains of the victor both sides suffer the loss of causalities. But abundant happiness lives in the wilderness for the lovers of peace.
The terrain of barren land is the desolate stretch that blessed and bitter people walk alone. We live with the prospect of anticipation while dragging our tired soul through moments of shock and disbelief. But the heart is ever wandering when there is a vacancy of love and trust. How do you turn a corner when civil conversation ends? Will you show the same grace and mercy to an enemy that you give to a friend?
Let your pearly whites shine in the brilliance of day. You are the strong tides breaking over sharp rocks. Hope is a thing with feathers and it takes flight every time you give optimism a chance. Even if you believe that it may be returned. Because faith is the belief in the unseen. And when all is said and done it feels better to know that the unblemished Lamb slain for our sins is in charge of everything.
Love always, Esha
Don’t be mad at poor responses to honest sentiments. Some people can’t handle the truth because they spent their whole life living a lie.

The road is long
The battle is arduous
But despite the journey that lies ahead of us
We all need a real friend
Someone that cares
Wipes away tears
And covers our fears with laughter
We all need someone worthwhile to talk too
And for me
That person is
And has always been you
Love always, Esha
Gray hair matters not. The silver strands leave salt and pepper across a head that once touted black and brown youth. Nevertheless, wisdom is not determined by age. It is found in the knowledge that someone gained through trial and tribulation released by the hand of God. But the outer appearance does little to determine the insight of the individual. Much like wrinkles, gray hair adds character to the physic of the person but does little for the soul if no lessons are learned from the life lived.
Love always, Esha
Don't worry about the plans that fell through. Better things lie ahead of you. The ants don't worry about approaching boots on the ground. They keep working. Carrying crumbs twenty times their weight. Securing the hill they must maintain. Much like the small yet determined ants you must keep going. The closed doors stop short of rejection. They are a turning point in a long journey that you started with little help from friends and lots of prayer. Never feel that your efforts and your struggle is in vain.
