This collection of poetry is the legacy of Bokhabinyana Radiance LoveLight, who tragically died at just 30 years young, on her 8th anniversary, at 8 months pregnant, after an arson attack on her home by a neighbour with mental health issues. This tragedy confirmed the prophetic ability of South African born “Khabi” as one of her poems, “Rising Phoenix,” poignantly reads, “Rescued by integrity, Emerging from deep within the refining fire, I rise from the ashes - lifted on the wings of Pure Being,” and, “Radiant like the Beaming SunRise I rise to greet the dawning of Infinite Love & Infinite Light - The Beauty of Eternal Day.” It appears Khabi knew her destiny, hence the very title she gave her poetry - “SPIRIT WORDZ.” These are the final versions of the poetry Khabi had been writing all her life. Two poems remain uncompleted, as she was still writing right up until the fire, but they are included here to ensure her sentiments are conveyed as fully as possible. The poems are presented in the fonts Khabi chose, which reflect many of their themes. All the photos were either taken or edited by Khabi, most of which had been specifically chosen by Khabi and she had often talked to her husband, “Judah JAH Love,” about making a book of her poetry, so he has lovingly and faithfully fulfilled that vision, providing an introduction, translations and pronunciations of African words and some brief commentary on the poetry. Growing up in South Africa during the Apartheid regime, life was full of fear and tension and Khabi found herself experiencing negativity all around her. “SPIRIT WORDZ” represents Khabi's journey through such harsh times and describes her personal awakenings as she explains how she managed to “Forget The Shadows” and realize her true identity and the strength to overcome, grow, forgive and evolve. The aim of her poetry was to help others overcome their own traumas, remind other Africans of the glory of their heritage and culture and to remind humanity as a whole of its true, eternal, Divine Identity and Destiny. The poems cover topics like technology and its limitations, self-empowerment, religion, unity, arguments, inner communication, the freedom found in dance and self expression, relationships, forgiveness and celebrating being a mother-to-be. She urges the reader to find the courage and self-belief to be all they were born to be, when she says in “Born To Shine”, “Yes your life is divine, Now is always the right time, To follow your pathline, Don't undermine your unique design, There is solid proof, In validating your innermost truth, The more you give the better you live, Your radiant light Is invaluable in the most high's sight, The book of life is written in your soul, Invest time in manifesting your sacred role, There is no measure to your innate treasure, Why compete when you are complete?” This book of poetry, along with its beautiful photos will convey to the reader, not only Khabi's message, but also her delightful spirit. “These poems are the legacy of a true angel. They're priceless pearls of wisdom, many of which are nothing short of masterpieces, conveying universe-sized revelations, prophecies and guidance, all expressed in a most pure and innocent way.” - Khabi's husband, Judah JAH Love.
