Fawzia - Seventh Anniversary. 28 January

In Memory of Fawzia Braine

Spirit on Earth

           like a flame

burning

           your eyes

           with gentle light

you came to see the world

            its soil and flowers

you came to know

            the God who wandered

            among us

            who loved

us with open heart.

Fawzia, you believed

              our God made flesh

              You soared

              above calamity.

How could you foresee

               the Great Sleep?

Swept from the mountaintop

                 by mighty wings.
