I built a kingdom of tenderness,
stone by stone with my pulse,
my love a fortress,
my prayers a shield you never saw.
You mistook patience for weakness,
devotion for chains,
spat on the altar,
shat on the gift,
and crowned yourself a god.
Love is not a toy.
It is thunder in the quiet,
a blade beneath the hand.
Today, I draw it.
I hand you to the wind,
to the fire,
to the silence between heartbeats
where God Himself whispers.
My obedience will no longer shield you,
my love will no longer soften your blows.
Watch the walls of pride crumble.
Hear the ground whisper beneath your feet.
Those who bowed to you will rise,
and the throne you claimed
will turn to ash.
You will not die.
Heaven has preordained your path,
but the proud break before they learn.
Grace waits in the dust.
Power belongs to the One who gives it,
never to you.

Rachel Reviews: Lunch Tales: Teagan by Lucille Guarino
Well, I did enjoy this! Sometimes, all you need is just great storytelling and this is what Lucille Guarino delivers here. There's no big message to this book; it's just about folks and families, living their lives and coping with everything that's being thrown at them and finding their way. But when it's done well, like it is here, then you have characters to whom you can relate, tension which leaves you rooting for a better outcome, attraction which has your heart racing and an urge, as a reader, to see the characters happy with the people with whom they belong.
