In Memory
we have not seen Mandela in the wordless flight of birds, his broken silence oh the sea is cold . . . gulls wing across the bay through burning water he touched our veins with ice and the prison faded earth shivers with grief — we are all floating islands counterweight to the stars ·······  ······· |

I love these lines we are all floating islands counterweight to the stars I wouldn't change a thing. Snow
