for karma nurisha wa kupenda lowe

 

for karma nurisha wa kupenda lowe

(poem for a letter too long to write)

 

cosmic gem of the universe

exploded celestial beauty

princess of the milky way

poured into

the waiting womb

prepared

 

that’s who you are

 

child of claimed prayer

moored on the shore of faith

anchored in the harbor of love

 

that’s who you are

 

jah’s chosen are never bare

sharah’s were tears of joy

and you—her new world karma—

blessed will be your womb too

 

that’s who you are

 

the north star winked tonight

the crescent moon reclined—

what a glorious smile…reflecting

 

 that’s who you are

 

wait and be of good courage;

the pain of joy is coming…wait…

pregnant belief has always delivered

 

that’s who you are

 

 

yahweh has never failed—

you’re ours and his blessed star

 

that’s who you are

 

twinkle…twinkle little star

blessed be the happiness

you bring

 

that’s who you are.

 

n.b.:  peace and love:

 

                      that’s who you are,

 

          dad.
