the passing
a message to a friend
I heard about your loss today
for a moment I felt such a sadness
she had been your friend such a long time
now her spirit had been taken away
then, on reflection I realized the kindness
of it all, her pain and suffering had been released
she was at peace
a gentle caring soul, her spirit will always
be felt, by family and friends who got to know and experience
her genuine warmth and laughter
for her, the life long journey here is behind her
she left with such grace, to the very end
she walked the path she believed in
she was an inspiration
I for one, celebrate her passing
she is free and where she wants to be.
Namaste – Okyashikiri
