Carpe Diem

In memory of a yoga friend and artist who died young, and unexpectedly, after having a stroke during a trip to Cape Town

Published Categorised as Poetry

I fed the birds

Lit the fireplace

Made my favourite cup of tea

For those she loved but left behind

For all the pain that has come to stay

For the yearning that still awaits

To feel the warmth of her hugs

To nourish our souls with what she made

To cherish the crossroads, seize the days

Today’s farewell to send her on
