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
sarah’s were tears of joy
and you—her new world karma—
blessed will be your womb too

that’s who you are

the north 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
and never will—forever
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.
