This is an analysis of “Becoming in Rhythm | A Sacred Journey in Thematic Verse.” It’s a personal reflection on what it reveals in light of my life’s journey.
Introduction | More Than a Poem, a Sacred Offering
When I published “Becoming in Rhythm,” I knew I wasn’t just putting words on a page. I was honoring a sacred invitation—one that had quietly been forming in the background of my life for many years.
This piece came forth not as a performance, but as a witness—of where I’ve walked, how I’ve grown, and who I’ve become.
For me, this isn’t just poetry. It’s a spiritual declaration. It carries the echoes of my life’s work: the hours spent in prayer, the weight of caregiving, the moments of obedience when the next step wasn’t clear, and the grace to continue becoming—day by day.
Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)
“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”

Healing & Restoration
Healing has been at the heart of my life for a long time—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. As a caregiver, I’ve held hands through transitions, offered comfort in silence, and witnessed strength in vulnerability.
This thread runs through “Becoming in Rhythm” in every stanza that whispers of open hands, anointing oil, and sacred touch. Moreover, the rhythm in the poem mirrors my own steady pace as I move in compassion and prayer.
Jeremiah 30:17 (KJV)
“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord.”
Isaiah 58:10-11 (ESV)
“If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness… and the Lord will guide you continually.”
Purpose & Identity
There was a time I had to rediscover who I was, not just as a worker or helper, but as a daughter of God with a specific purpose. Ultimately, I’ve come to embrace my identity not just through titles, but through alignment.
Stanzas like “Identity in Formation” and “The Work of the Word” are not abstract ideas for me. More importantly, they reflect my own process of stepping into my voice and reclaiming what I was always meant to do: teach, nurture, write, and minister through everyday acts.
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…”
Romans 8:28 (KJV)
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Themes Rooted in My Journey – Section 2
Spiritual Warfare
I’ve faced battles that weren’t visible to the eye—battles in the spirit, battles in finance, health, grief, and fatigue. Notwithstanding, I’ve also been armored with peace, equipped through prayer, and covered in grace.
Writing about “The Armor of Light” and “Spiritual Warfare” wasn’t theory. Realistically, it was testimony. I know what it is to stand when nothing makes sense, to praise when resources are low, and to walk boldly with quiet faith.
Ephesians 6:11-12 (KJV)
“Put on the whole armour of God… For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…”
2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV)
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.”
The Call to Speak
Words have always been important to me. However, it’s more than a love for writing. It’s a calling to speak what must be spoken, and to write what must be recorded. Moreover, God has entrusted me with words, not just for myself but for others.
The repeated phrases and deliberate cadence in the poem echo the way I often hear things confirmed in my spirit—sometimes twice, to ensure I’m listening. Writing this was an act of obedience, not ambition.
Jeremiah 1:9 (KJV)
“Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.”
Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
Flow, Rhythm, and Divine Timing
The poem is structured with intention, just as my life has been. Furthermore, I’ve learned not to rush, but to move with rhythm—God’s rhythm. Each section builds upon the last, just as my understanding of purpose has grown one revelation at a time.
Additionally, the repetition throughout the piece was intentional. I’ve come to understand that repetition is not redundancy—it’s reinforcement. In essence, it’s how truth settles deeper. That’s been my own process: hearing, waiting, then walking in it.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
Psalm 37:23 (KJV)
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”
A Legacy Woven with Generational Threads
Without a doubt, my heritage is quietly woven into this piece. While the poem doesn’t name Jamaica or my family, the roots are there—deep and steady.
- The discipline my father lived by and taught me
- The presence and resilience of my maternal grandmother
- The spiritual foundation and strength of the parents who raised me
—they all shaped me. Their influence shows up in how I serve, how I pray, and how I speak.
This poem carries their wisdom. It honors the patriarch, matriarchs, the visionaries, the silent intercessors who passed their legacy through actions, not accolades.
2 Timothy 1:5 (KJV)
“When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother…”
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (KJV)
“And these words… thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children…”
The Symbols That Carry My Life’s Message
I chose every image carefully because each one means something sacred to me:
- Open Bible for illumination, authority, and divine guidance
- Unknown Path for faith, trust, and forward movement
- The pen for the authority I’ve been given to write and teach
- Empty Chair for presence, invitation, and sacred waiting
- Open hands for surrender and service
- Oil for anointing and healing
- Light for clarity, hope, and revelation
- Sunrise for new mercies and joy
These aren’t just symbols—they are part of my story. I live by them.
Isaiah 61:1 (KJV)
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me… he hath anointed me to preach good tidings… to bind up the brokenhearted…”
Psalm 119:105 (KJV)
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
A Vessel, Not the Source
One thing I know: I didn’t write this alone. I was entrusted with it.
For years, I held onto these words, unsure of when or how to release them. I wanted to be certain I was stewarding them rightly. Eventually, that time came when I realized this wasn’t just a personal reflection. Most importantly, it was a call to speak, for such a time as this.
In many ways, I am still becoming—not perfect, but positioned. Not striving, but surrendered. Not chasing platforms, but following peace. This piece came through me, but it belongs to the One who gave it.
2 Corinthians 4:7 (KJV)
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”
Romans 12:1 (KJV)
“Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”
A Legacy Document | My Sacred Memoir
In the context of my life, this work becomes a legacy document—bearing witness not just to what I’ve done, but who I’ve become through it all.
- Daughter – rooted in legacy and faith
- Mother – a nurturer, life-giver, and guide
- Business Administrator – a steward of vision and structure
- Caregiver – a healer, listener, and servant leader
- Vessel – yielded, filled, and poured out
- A woman becoming – in rhythm, ever-unfolding, aligned with purpose, in God’s will and divine timing
And I pray that as you read, you hear the rhythm not just of my journey—but of your own. May it stir something in you to pause, reflect, and step boldly into the sacred rhythm that is calling your name too.
Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth… I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
Final Reflection | Analysis of Becoming in Rhythm
Becoming in Rhythm was never just a collection of words—it was, and continues to be, a spiritual unfolding. Through this analysis, I’ve come to see even more clearly how every line mirrors a part of my lived experience, shaped by faith, trials, healing, and the quiet whisper of purpose.
Finally, this reflection is not meant to explain everything, but to reveal something deeper:
- Behind every poetic phrase lies a testimony.
- And behind every testimony, a God who writes our stories with intention.
If Becoming in Rhythm has spoken to you, I encourage you to sit with it again. However, this time not just as a reader, but as someone being invited. Because becoming is not reserved for a few. Moreover, it’s available to all who are willing to walk in rhythm with the One who calls them forward.
I am still walking. Still unfolding. Still becoming.
And maybe, so are you.
Philippians 3:13–14 (KJV)
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
To God Be The Glory. Always!
