For All the Children
Kasserian Ingera
Wise messengers clearing paths
calming storms that often bruise or wound.
Sapati Ingera
We celebrate your tender messages
that promise to reshape and repurpose a tired world.
Kasserian Ingera
You harvest the hope that enables us
to steady the center that is always bending.
Sapati Ingera
Your plentitude of grace and truth-telling
lifts voices, shifts stories, stretches hearts wider.
Kasserian Ingera
Your legacy
new poem new dance new song new medicine.
Sapati Ingera
Your footprints
skipping flying leaving new promises of new realities.
Kasserian Ingera
Your united nations of goodness
dresses up in the armor of peaceful warriors.
Sapati Ingera
You are Light bearers
illuminating the wildest dreams of your ancestors
Kasserian Ingera
Through the long nights you ripen a harvest that will feed
our hearts.
Sapati Ingera
Through the long nights you weave love into bread.
Kasserian Ingera
Through the long nights your song is a blanket for a
nameless motherless child.
Sapati Ingera
We listen to your whispers
guiding us to give all we are in the least we ever do.
*The traditional greeting that passed between the fabled fearsome Maasai warriors of East Africa. Kasserian Ingera means "and how are the children?" Sapati Ingera means "all the children are well."
