Because you loved freedom more than the world
Because you loved freedom more than the world You are once again a free soul, flowing between lives — From sins of the family, and curses for daughters — To make forgiveness possible Yesterday we were four millennium children searching for the Great Dipper From the sea of stars in the Southeast Asian night I wanted to be an artist, you said, and I a scientist And that began the promise of a lifetime Tonight in the Bay Area I saw the Great Dipper again And I knew that nothing is lost — Your dream is safe with me; I am the part of you that survived. As I approach my own 33rd year, I finally learned peace in the chaos we shared “Then I saw a new heaven and new earth, for the first heaven and first earth had passed away.” And I saw New Eden. Good night, my sister Farewell and godspeed (Sylvia Winters Xue to Jing Xue 1991-2025)
