"sokimi" poems
A poem and tribute to my Nana Lilly Murdoch Sokimi. After nearly six years, we’ve fulfilled her wish, laying her ashes to rest on her island home, a place I knew only through her stories but have now walked myself #kuria #kiribati 💕 For you my beloved Nana you are cherished ❤️🌴 I miss you so much, but my heart knows you’re at peace and no longer at fuss You’re laid to rest on Kuria, the island you love. Home with your beloved ones, safe in the stars above. I miss you nana but I know you’re home I sit on the beach, the sand warms beneath me. Your tales of old times dance in the waves of the sea I miss you nana but I know you’re home I wish you were here, right by my side, But I feel you watching, with love as my guide. I miss you nana but I know you’re home Riding on the back of a motorbike, wind in my face, I see you in the land, in every sacred place. I miss you nana but I know you’re home The coconut trees sway gently, I’ll never forget whispering your tales you told me as a child oh how I fret. I miss you nana but I know you’re home I walk on the beach where the sand holds your steps and I hear your laughter, your glories in depths. I miss you Nana but I know you are here Kuria, your home, your land holds you now, in its warm, endless way. In the heart of this island, where families join you by your side and love will never fade away . You are home, my dearest Nana, you are home, my heart aches to say, forever here and my heart you will always stay. From Fiji to Kuria we have reached the shores, May you Rest in eternal peace my dearest Nana on this sacred island of yours.
