Warrior’s Spirit, Champion’s Crown

By Nikia R. Noisette

My blood curves like the crescent moon,

Not broken—beaming, born in tune.

He etched this shape in sacred light,

A vessel formed for holy fight.

I carry pain like prophets do,

A rhythm ancient, tried and true.

Not cracked by weight, nor worn by time,

But pressed with purpose, shaped by design.

He brought me through the surgeon’s knife,

Blood transfusions, war for life.

Addiction’s grip, infection’s flame—

But none outmatched Jehovah’s Name.

Organs failed—but He stood tall.

By His stripes, I survived it all.

This body bears a sacred sound,

A pulse that shakes the silent ground.

He carved my path, then wrote it down—

Warrior’s Spirit, Champion’s Crown.
