About Me

My photo
Ntwadumela (In-twy-do-may-la) means, “He Who Greets With Fire. With the various biblical examples of God in the Old and New Testaments manifesting his presence as fire, poet Ntwadumela simply means the poet who greets with the presence of God. As a Christian poet I am striving to express God to people, people to God, and our view of God to each other. It is my belief that the enemy of all souls has organized and specific strategies for deceiving and destroying humans. A high priority in these strategies is the dividing of us from each other, the fostering of hate in the world and the belief that if you and I don't agree that somehow means I don't have to love you. It is my desire to to shed light on these strategies and help us all to know God the more.

Self Portrait

Do you know who you are?

I have been a wonderful success.
I have been a horrible failure.
I see myself a blessing to many.
I see that by me not one of them is blessed.
There are many who are able to speak well of me.
There are many who are able to speak ill of me.
I think I understand the condition of my nature.

Do you know who you are?

I look into the mirror.
I study my pain.
The deeper I study the more pain I see.
When I try to look away, none of this can help me.

Who are you looking for?

In the mirror
I hope
one day to see
a very small part
of a poor reflection
of the only reflection
that is you.

Peace! You are not who you have been thus far,
Neither are you who you think you to be,
Nor are you who others hear and or see.
You are all of who I speak that you are.

But I...

Peace.

faith yes.
