By Dr. Sophia Edwards-Bennett
The you …….
You were created to be
With bold intentionality
Uniquely faceted
Beautifully and exquisitely crafted
Beckoned from the spirit realm
Transitioned into terrestrial solemn
Fetally cocooned
In your mother’s womb
Suspended… ever so delicately
In amniotic buoyancy
Propelled into being
Detached umbilically
From the comfort of…. familiarity
Nourished to develop
And chronologically grow
Enduring pathogenic seasons
And life’s inevitable woes
Through long and arduous odysseys
And circuits of adversities
Sage lessons learnt
And wisdom earned
Molded as… The Potter’s clay…
One’s ‘becoming’ …..
A metamorphosis at play
Now at the crossroads
Intersections avail
Your choice, your path
To imminently unveil
But what is your purpose?
Will it unfold?
Is it instinct, intuition?
Is it in alignment with your soul?
Are you……
An engendered prototype of creativity…..
Or…
An idiosyncratic genotype transcending nativity?
A wave that carries the drifting to shore…..
Or….
The wings to soar the insecure?
The key to unlock another’s destiny….
Or….
An iridescent light to safety?
The answer lies …in synchrony
With grace ….and sovereign divinity
One’s destiny ……you see
Cannot be revealed… with unabashed certainty
Until the passion…. burning incessantly
Is expressed through you ….effusively
Your appointed gift… is not amiss
But it is …for such.. a time as this
So we all lose
If you don’t choose
Resolutely…. to be ….
Irrevocably…
Unapologetically….
Intentionally …….YOU
