Love Wonder
When you were born
the Sun named you Wondra
and Luna fed you star fire from her naked night,
they knew you would dance with feet of love war
that your heart would become poetry, body an angel's repository
and that your soul would cry diamonds, a mind of misfit symphony,
As you've grown, so pretty and strong
like a song of valor from an incorruptible heartbeat
a new passion of virtue has glown from your triumphant love touch,
serpents have negotiated for your beauty only to be awed by your command
and the indigenous creatures of Earth have come to your maternal hand for guidance,
the crosses in your eyes have shown the brave sanctuary and the wicked outstretched humility -
J.A.B.
