Holy Spirit over the water

Who hollows the stones

Shaped into walls

To shelter the people

From the winds that blow

 

Gathering in and living well

Remembering the One

Who loves without doubt

 

Even the wind,

​

but water is here now, said Thomas,

and the stones are wet

​

Who are You?

 

My home is your home too

My neighbor is here

Do you know her?

 

Holy Spirit is upon

her tongue

Graph Paper Background

My name is Sara Kumar,

and I love to think about

Algebra with my dad and my nephew.

​

I love the language of Telugu,

but I feel more comfortable, listening

to Spanish being sung, and also Hindi.

English is my mother language.

​

I studied Electrical Engineering at Rice University,

and I loved writing plays for cultural performances,

during my time, living and studying there,

and during my sophomore year off-campus too.

​

Holy Spirit, please guide me here,

I experienced a radical, new Love,

while doing Systems Engineering and Art Learning,

while living in Pasadena, California,

​​

and so I needed to come back home, to Houston,

and be with familia again, and study with love,

about Christian Theology and Sociology and History,

at the University of St. Thomas.

I began writing play pieces,
when I was in eighth grade,
and we wrote about romantic love,
and Indian politics, and Indian film,
and in seventh grade,
I learned about plant cells,
and I wrote my first poem in verse, about a tree.

My work now is about Physics and Chemistry and History,
and also about how electrons can move into a sigma bond,
and I'm also interested in how rubber was manufactured,
during the 1860s, in the State of Tennessee.

These days, I think about editing, with friends,
my book, "Colorful Dream Poem Book,"
and I dream, sometimes, about living in Cambridge, England,

writing and editing a play about the political life
of Andrew Johnson, in August of 1863, and until the time,
when he became the United States President, in April of 1865,
and about how Black American entrepreneurs, during this time,
helped bring about needed political and cultural changes.

A few plays, I have worked on, have been reviewed,
and over time, I'll respond here, to online reviews
with Houston Press and Broadway World, with care and love, 
and there are somethings still there and somethings changed,
in my dream,
and understanding and love.
