Prelude – Rachel Rising

https://rachelrising.com/prelude

Live to tell the tale. Prelude (Click to hear audio version). I am not a poet. I am not a playwright. The story and the poems that go with it are very simply, the truth. This happened. My parents named me Rebecca, and God himself has named me Rachel, which in Hebrew means “Ewe”, the female sheep. And how is it that I can say that God has named me? I think I have been Rachel for a long time. But that is another story. Something else these mythical stories of hell have in common: redemption. As we begin wi...

IX – Rachel Rising

https://rachelrising.com/ix

Live to tell the tale. The time has come to leave this place. Truth has defeated the dark one again. His true nature is revealed. His words become nothing. The laugh of a hyena. The mindless cackle of a toothless beggar. But fear remains,. Bury me, Lord, as you yourself were buried. For three days let him think me gone. Until freedom becomes a habit. And terror only a dark memory;. Then shall I stand in sunlight,. The only shadow the shade of your wings. He conspires in his darkness, his sunless cavern.

X – Rachel Rising

Live to tell the tale. But still the devil followed me. With claws around my throat. There, in summer sun. I read the contract that he wrote. My heart was frozen hard in fear. Again he showed his skill:. 8220;I own those things you hold most dear,. To do with as I will.”. Then opened I my mouth to sing. Alone beside the water. And still he sniggered in my soul. 8220;But you are Satan’s daughter.”. That quiet voice, that vicious whisper. Echoed, sneaking, in my head;. Where once I sang the angels’ songs.

Live to tell the tale. Now face the east. Stand in the light of. And know the peace. The coming of a new day. Not sorrow at endings. And it is too soon to go there.

Live to tell the tale. But that was one voice,. Outside of the nearer insanity of voices. Babbling, chittering,. Screaming, laughing,. There beside me in the darkness of hell. The devil still stood beside me. And whispered lies in my ears. The Prince of Lies. Giving with his words. And taking with his hands. Giving with his hands. And taking with his words.

Questions for Artists – Rachel Rising

https://rachelrising.com/2015/02/18/questions-for-artists

Live to tell the tale. February 18, 2015. December 4, 2015. John Koch-Northrup posted a series of questions on Ello. And I so enjoyed the questions and the process of considering responses that I thought I’d share the results. What or who inspired you initially? Then, when I was five, I had a terrible nightmare and as my mother tried to wake me from it, apparently I was yelling “I wish I had a little mouth! I wish I had a little mouth! 8221; So, mom. What gets you up in the morning? I do have a handful o...
