A comet with an unprecedented tale that swept moments into eternity, your essence elevated ears into mirrors that reflected visions of paradise...even as you kept reaching beyond our expectations and into your own.
We watched destiny’s dominoes fall under your rhythm. Your grace emerged through pounding sticks and we saw your strength in the caress of your skins...between pedal to mettle...stereotype-defying...all-gender inspiring...until...
Your siren stopped traffic in every corner of the mind...and set the heart racing with hallowed transfusions...as you championed, and challenged, love.
We watched it cower in your presence...placated by the purity of your breaths.
We saw you stare down its absence...mollified, seemingly, by the pursuit of your purpose.
Still, we wondered then...and wonder now...and wonder if...
Sculpted and shaped by the rainbows beckoning you to come out from your inner storms...you bathed us in the forevermore. And we still see our own streams staring...at the channels you opened...and the paths you took.
Only the heavens could create such a vision...and then blindside it with tears...
We grapple now over your time...the gratitude towards its presence...the anger at its expiration...the lament over its irregularities...and...the amazement at how you kept borrowing it...knowing, deep down...your debt would be paid off by everyone indebted to you.
The precious...the petulant...the profound...the protective...the playful all abound in the maze of the maternal-child...taken in by the caretaker within....
And now...on this day, once again...it is our turn to remind you, that you will never have to seek out anything or anyone, because you still carry so much love, wisdom and devotion.
Your charm widened the scope of amazement.
Your beauty transcended the capabilities of any looking glass.
And your battle ended many wars.
You are an angel rising...eternally.
--Poetic
