From Joanna in Hong Kong

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.

Joanna RadwaƄska-Williams
