A poem in honor of my beautiful Aunt Lina who passed away in January 2021 She journeyed through her life Collecting rays of light A basket full of gem-like Luminous sunlight Her heart was always ready To gift these beads of glitter Words made of sunrise threading And rippling laugh’s flitter She weaved the strands of sun rays Into her flowing braid So in the darkest stormy days Her light streamed unafraid She spun the fabric of the sun Into her beaming smile So when you felt alone, undone She’d spark your world for miles And with her voice she took the care To drape it with sun’s glimmer So when she’d sing her soulful prayers She’d wrap our hearts with shimmer But maybe it’s her gift of light That couldn’t be contained For God had called her to his side And now the sky a star has gained Her flowing braid and beaming smile Now shine upon creation And someday we shall meet again And gleam together in elation Viktoriya Neverov-Krstic |
