My Death-Feelings So Far – Part 2

By Costly Oma.

My Death Encounter – Part 2.

~~ Within The Environs ~~ 

My Death feeling and encounters part two cover

Now, it is almost dawn and the day was becoming active again. I feel almost anew but the encounter I had was still playing in my head and somehow, I think that I can still smell that terrible smell around as I think I can still feel it deep down my throat. I had no intentions to say anything about the night to any member of my family.

At the time, I live in a home of three members. Me, my mother and my aunt. On that morning, I said to myself, I’m not going anywhere today, I’ll stay at home all through.

While I was saying that to myself, it struck my mind that I even have some dirty clothes, and I said, I will take today to wash my clothes.

It is morning time now and the day’s activities have kicked in fully. I got up from bed, did some push-ups and squats as I like working out sometimes, grabbed my toothbrush, discharged some toothpaste on it, entered the bathroom, pasted and bathed.

I came out of the bathroom, cleaned and creamed my body, put on some house clothes and start arranging the dirty clothes I would want to wash for the day. After picking the clothes out from the basket, I sat back down feeling unusual as it was obvious that it took me longer to go from exercising to finish bathing.

I usually do not leave my room in the morning before I take bath, Meaning I usually have my bath in the morning before leaving my room, all things being equal and this day wasn’t an exception.

I got back up after sitting for a while, trying to tidy the room as in keeping things in order before stepping out of the room. Now I think I was set to leave the room with my dirty clothes as I’ve decided to do the washing outside the room and outside the house.

Religion death life leaving a standing body at a flash.

I opened the door of the room and stepped out of the room. I observed that no member of the house is up yet. It was on a Thursday, not that they have compulsory activities that do take them out of bed in the mornings, but they usually use to be up early. Clearly, this day wasn’t one of those days.

I walked towards one of the back exits of the house and reached out to the door and opened it. As I was about stepping out, I got this prompting reminding me that I said I wasn’t going to leave the house today and unconsciously like in response, I said out loud to my hearing, I not leaving these environs I was going to stay within the compound.

It didn’t really strike me as something out of the ordinary since I’ve always been someone who speaks to myself sometimes as my faith demands, more or less like a lifestyle.

I stepped out and put all the things I needed for the washing together and started washing. While I was washing, I heard one of the doors of the house open and it was my mother’s door. She is up and has stepped out of her room. After a while, she stepped out of the house, towards where I was washing and we greeted.

She needed to buy something that is not in the house and she asked me if I can go and get it for her as it’s obvious that I would not be going to work today. What she wanted was something I can get just down the road so it is still within the environs I said to myself. I told her I’ll go get, let me finish washing and I’ll go get it for you.

While I was just rounding up my washing, my phone rang and it was one of my nephews. He is rounding up from a higher institution and needed some money to aid in his clearance process and he needed my assistance to provide him with the money. 

He is my senior, I respect him, I’m respectful and I cannot ask him to come to the house or meet me anywhere to get the money. I had some cash that can cover the amount he asked so I intend to give him cash. I didn’t want to touch the money in the bank for some reason. At this point, I had no choice but to locate him wherever he is and hand him the money. Me and this my respectful life, I said to myself. Now I would have to leave the house as against what I initially intended.

I inquired where he was and it was a distance of about 8 kilometres from where I was. I told him I’m going to meet him there but he would have to give me some time and he said he would be waiting.

I rounded up the washing and got myself tidied up to hit the road with the money he wanted in my pocket. I went to my mother and asked her to give me the money for what she wanted to buy, that I’m going out and would get it on my way back. I told her I’ll not be gone for long, that I just wanted to see someone in a second and start heading back. She gave me the money and I left the house.

Woman - Poem

By Costly Oma . 1. Unaware, she seems,  Fragile, yet able. Tender, she appears. Weak, yet strong. 2. Subtle with wit. Accommodating with guard. Loose with focus. Loving with vision. 3. Characterized by beauty. Categorized as an angel. Graced with curves, And strides with style. 4. Builder like a bird. Keeper like a hen. Lover like a dolphin. Carrier like a whale. 5. Protector like an eagle. Giver like a hose. Fighter like animal. Server like a servant. 6. Product like honey. Fierce, yet gentle. Comforts like a home. This is a woman.

NYSC SCHEME - Poem

By Costly Oma .  Written In 2013.  First Published: Feb. 2014. 1.  An idea was birthed,  And into action, it sprung. Since from Nineteen Seventy-Three, Youths have been shuffled. 2. With a call, we moved A call to serve, our best to render, A call to give, our best to offer. A call to keep one Nigeria 3. Under the sun, we matched. In the rain, no difference. When it’s bright and clear, And otherwise, we answer. 4. A call like no other, Beginning with a journey, Then living three weeks in exclusion, Learning new things in new style. 5. A call so anticipated, Becomes so tiring with time, Then feels it should be extended but boring, Yet memories linger. 6. With the hope of National unity, It was birthed.  I hope that its cause has not been tilted, For sacrifices have been made. 7. NYSC SCHEME, We hope that your aim we achieve, For your call we heard, And your rules we kept. #nyscpoem #nyscschemepoem #scheme #nysc #poems #nationalyouthservice #nationalyouthservicecorp ##nationalyouthservic

Time - Poem

TIME Speaking!!! 1. Trust me, I’m in your beginning, In-between. And in your end. 2. I’m a part you can’t do without. An entity of immeasurable worth. A unit of the highest value. A mystery in essence. 3. Your future, I determine Your goals, I monitor Your achievements All, wrapped up in me. 4. I’m terrible. I’m hostile. I’m always against you. But I am a friend. 5. The diligence blesses me. The froward curse me. What are you? I AM TIME. 6. Seek me early and In abundance, you shall find me Seek me late and In the scarcity of me, you shall wallow. 7. Feel you have me, Lost me, you’d just. Feel you lost me, In hast, you must be. 8. Yea, you wish, I know. That I could be friendlier. But this is who and what I am. Just time. Man Speaking!!! 9. Oh, time. A treasure, yet cruel. A blessing, yet a curse. In endless circles you are. 10. Fashioning every man’s destiny. From where did you spring? A limited counting you are, In regular intervals. 11. Regulating man’s every endeavour. Slow it is wh

Father - Poem

By Costly Oma . 1. A Father. A role you are given. A role you didn't ask for, Yet you accepted, And have learned to understand. 2. A Father. Like a purpose, You stay loyal to it's aim. Like a vision, You stay married to it's picture. 3. A Father. Characterized by strength, Categorized by direction. Geared to provide. Wired to protect. 4. A Father. You carry a burden, Burden unknown to your wife, Burden unknown to your children, Burden unknown to your family. 5. The strength of the home. The defense of the family.  You cry sometime, Oh, yes you do, But not in the open.  6. Children misconcepts you, Misconcepts your nature, Nature of care and provision, And ascribes everything to their mothers. Lost are we without a father.  7. I love you dad, I don't misconcept you, Thank you for your seamless, Seamless care and provision.  My Father. #costly #oma #costlyoma #costlyomapoems #costlyomablog #father #fatherpoem #poemaboutfather #poemaboutafather

The Reason

By Costly Oma . 1. Solace, I find in poetry. In poetry, relief, I find. Not without the pain. But the pain, it soothes. 2. In my darkest days, And in my darkest hours, A line of poetry, in my heart, The difference, make. 3. When I find myself lost, In all that I cannot explain, The courage to press, A poetry gives. 4. My first love, I cannot tell. The present, past, and future. I choose the now, For the morrow, I know not. 5. When the bridge is out, And the living, being choked away, But saddled with poetry, To hold and hold I may. 6. From the lines of Ann Taylor's My Mother. To the ancient scripts of Dangerous Beauty, I grief still, But a lift, in poetry I find.  Happy World Poetry Day.

My Death-Feelings So Far – Part 1

By Costly Oma . My Death Encounter Part - 1. ~~My Body Leaving My Body~~ Sometime in the first quarter of the year 2018, around 4 AM in the morning, while I was still in bed, I was woken up by a strong presence of what I can call death. I felt this chilled cold sweep past me, from the soul of my feet to the crown of my head. It was so dramatic as I feel like the cold was swallowing me, starting from the soul of my feet to the crown of my head. As I got completely engulfed by the cold, I woke up. I woke up and got down from the bed but I was still seeing myself lying on the bed. I stood up but it felt like I wasn’t the one standing as I was seeing another me lying in bed. I was obviously at this point confused as to what was happening as I am both standing and lying down at the same time. As I was yet to get my mind organised as to what was happening, I saw a thick dark cloud forming at the westside wall of the room. This thick dark cloud looks so dirty and it smells so bad. As this cl

My Life Experiences And Quotes

By Costly Oma . Life has a way of Teaching, Taming and training humans. All of these life's teachings could be termed as Life's Experiences and everyone has had a measure of them. No two individuals have the same sets of life experiences in their entirety since no two people have been known to have been subjected to the same sets of living in all ramifications since our life's experiences are how we live based. I've got some of my life experiences compiled. I hope they give you something to think about as you go through them one after the other. In the cause of life, I've come to learn the following:  My father would always say; Make sure you know all there is to know. If you want something done well, do it yourself. He that rests, rusts. Education without morality is like tea without sugar. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. People generally, hardly mean what they say but women are more so. And he warns; be extremely careful on how you execute women's de

Be Inspired - Story Of An Elephant and a Dog

An elephant and a dog became pregnant at the same time. Three months down the line the dog gave birth to six puppies. Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months on it gave birth to another dozen puppies. The pattern continued. On the eighteenth month, the dog approached the elephant questioning, "Are you sure that you are pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant. What's going on?" The elephant replied, "There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in two years. When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration, what I carry draws attention. So what I'm carrying is mighty and great." Don't lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers. Don't be e

There Are No Ordinary Words.

60% of all human communication is Nonverbal, meaning body language. 30% comes from the Tone in our voice. This means that what is really coming out of our mouths is just 10%. By   Costly Oma .  Our Words are like Bullets So To Say In a world where everyone has something to say and we are all saying one thing or the other, it is pertinent that we all learn and know or become aware of how to choose our words carefully and the tone in our voice correctly anytime we are engaging in a conversation knowing that for the message to be communicated accurately, there must be sound, and tones make up sounds and sounds come in words in conversation. Here is something I call the right choice of words. When the tone is right, the sound is right and when words are carefully chosen, communication is excellent. Don’t you want to get to that point? For me, I always want to be there. In this article, we will be learning the importance of choosing our words and the tone of our voice correctly when engagin

Choosing The Sex Of Your Baby.

The Shettle's Method By Costly Oma . This post is all about having the knowledge that will enable us to choose the sex of our babies. That is, having the knowledge to choose whether as couples, we want to have a male child or we want to have a female child at any time that we want to add a child to the family.  This method of course is Shettle's method of choosing the sex of our babies. It is called the Shettle's method because the method was named after the person who invented it  Landrum B. Shettles in the 1960s.

The book How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby was first published in 1971 and has been in print in various editions ever since.
