The Watch.

A New Order.

By Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh.Published 5 months ago 1 min read

It has come to my attention

That our calm exterior

Tempts the minions

And though they see the fire

Above us

Around us

They are not perturbed

The cloud too beautiful

Confuses their judgement

To respect her or to run

So let it be known

Every hour

Our army will rise

Practice makes perfect

And with God on our side

Our victory

Is assured.

    Beautiful piece. I love that this person is both feared and respected in her position but turns to both her army and God for support.

    I like how the beginning gently beckons our attention. It is the expectation that a calm exterior, promotes more calm in the other. But for it to tempt the minions. It brings questions and intrigue. I like the direction this went. Leaving them confused, not knowing whether to respect her or run. 'Victory is assured indeed' I like the power of this poem. The call for protection and the self awareness and growth. Fantastic work as always Cathy 🤗❤️
