Fatamata's DreamA Poem by Kpoh
The Baobab tree whispered to Fatamata 'Come little one Sit under my shade Rest your weary feet I will cast a deep sleep over you And seal your instruction' Fatamata loosened the thongs of her sandals Sat under the Baobab tree And soon fell into a deep sleep Akin to death; and dead to all The Baobab tree spread her branches abroad Casting pleasant shade over the little Seed Thence began sweet whisperings Unspeakable utterances Music unfit for the ears of man Unlawful for any mortal to grant audience to Coming into existence before Adam Words existing before the hills Encapsuled by celestial harmonies Bounded by the winds of God Dropt into the mind of the little Seed The Seed of Fatamata I will make of you One saith the Word That which ye shall become None other House will ye erect Thine destiny is sinlge An idea captive to itself There shall be no turning To the left Or to the right I will imbue you with power unassailable Strengthen you with the Might of Samson I will occupy your mind with the Fear of David Impregnate you with the Faith of Abraham I will guide you as I did Moses with a pillar of cloud Prosper you with the fortune of Joseph Ye shall not waver Ye shall voyage steadfast after that ye are purposed I will secure to you the fidelity of a rock And enlist for your comfort the permanence of stars In thy presence tranquility shall retire I will make your Name as wise as Solomon Ye shall judge with right judgment my imprisoned purpose for you The tenacity of Paul will pale in the great conflict to come I will build you a mind of Gold Forged by the greatest smith of them all; Wisdom Ye shall be incorruptible in that ye are objected Then will I incubate in thee a Great Commission It shall exceed your borders Thine frontiers shall retreat ahead of the blessings I will establish within thine City I will plant my Lamp in the secret place of thine Chamber Whose light shall climb through thine walls and gleam unto the ends of the earth Men shall regard you with scorn Deriding your insignificance They shall ridicule your portion And say did ever a Prophet from Galilee come Yet shall ye not be moved For thou knowest what slumbers within thee From the belly of the lame shall endurance arise I will mount upon the wings of thine mind Chariots of horsemen bearing the King He shall hold in his hand a golden sceptre With which he shall decree his purpose I am that I am I will become that I am I know what I am I am a small Seed I am an insignificant Seed Yet I am intended to become a Great tree I am created to become a Mighty tree I am destined to become a Hallowed tree I bear within me The dream of Fatamata's Seed I transport with me The Joy of Fatamata's Seed I celebrate within me The presence of Fatamata's Seed I sing in my soul The song of Fatamata's Seed Nothing else One bright day soon to come I will become a Great tree No obstacle can deny me this No mountain of earth formed No mountain of dirt plowed Can prevent my appearance On the day appointed I will pierce foundation And reveal my ears Then in partnership with the Rock of Ages I will excavate my glory Eyeballs shall bear witness To the triumph of the minute Seed I embalm myself in the Absolute conviction of that I am meant to be I am to Fatamata's tree mummified Husbanding the day I arise in majesty There is no shade of variableness; No not a whit Nor the minutest vacillation in the testimony I come bearing That of which I am desirous is by discipline fertilized Hear this; Without Faith it is impossible to please him; For he that cometh to God must believe that He is And that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him Fatamata's Seed knows IT IS As God IS Fatamata's Seed is focused diligent on One purpose It seeks with Faith unwavering that which it is meant to be It will by Fatamata's tree be pleased And will by Fatamata's tree be rewarded Fatamata's Seed becometh Fatamata's tree There is none other it shall become It is to none other reasoned Then awoke Fatamata out of her dream Towering above all others and no longer puny She had become that which had lain dormant in the Temple of her mind She had from the Seed smallest evolved into a tree embracing the heavens The Baobab tree said to the Mustard Tree Well done thou Good and Faithful servant Thou has been Faithful over the charge given thee of the Father
