Prodigyl Daughter

Akiane Kramarik is an 11 year old girl, hailed as a prodigy, who began painting and writing poetry at a very young age. She also speaks three languages. I just wanted to let other people know about it. If you get the white dove newsletter then you already know but you should check this out.

This is a painting done by her at age 8 after the National Geographic photo entitled The Answer...




















And here is a poem she wrote to accompany the painting, still only 8 yrs old.

THE ANSWER
Poetry by Akiane


Trash is blowing on my face.
My day is bound. I cannot talk.
The time I breath, the time I race.
Tonight the wind begins to walk.

Who will touch me when I'm blind-
I will answer silence soon.
I wish this night was far behind
The shadows of the afternoon.

My sun-baked lips touch living voice.
Love quickly shakes the spears.
God knows where our last night was.
I cannot see my heavy tears.

Wisdom asks what I will be,
When I become a child.
I hold God's feathers... glass sees me.
I sit on icy rock awhile.

Far away no one sees my eyes.
I sing to frozen butterflies to stay alive.
Far away I hear someone love.
I will not leave until God's time...

Her story is very intriguing. She paints things from her dreams. She began talking to her mother about God when she was four. She told of the things He showed her in her dreams, eventually getting her atheist family saved. \/\/ O \/\/ !!

In her own words she has a "Daring Heart and a Cautious Mind."

You need to check out her poetry.. it really is amazing

i gotta do some more work now, but I am absolutely amazed.
