Feels like: “Ljósið” by Ólafur Arnalds
“For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.”
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.”
-Psalm 139:13-16
Baby Jaharri
By: Tita Quina
I miss you,
sweet niece,
I never got to hold
or see grow old.
I lack certainty
of when
it became real for me
but your picture,
when
at 7 months
at 7 months
you came with
your beautiful brown skin
tiny body
precious eyes
remains in my mind
And I love you
more than I
know how to express
Psalm 139:13-16
my rest.
