Collage on paper by Angela Zafiris
Unseen forces
and foes alike
tried to cut you down
dark feathers in the wind
you fought
in this world of
negative faces
and negative places
they say you have to fight
your battles alone
but they were wrong
we are not alone
an invisible hand
like a lightening bolt
reaches for you through the clouds
you were chosen
Most virtuous
and noble of all
worthy of redemption.
