My friend stopped dreaming today
She opened her eyes in the other world
A kaleidoscope of tears assaults and soothes my soul
Love & Rage, Joy & Sadness, Anguish & Understanding
A shower of memories – like fairy dust
Illuminates our time together
In every future moment
I will miss you – as I wonder
How is this possible?
When everywhere I look inside of me
There you are
Hearken to this reed forlorn
Breathing ever since was torn
From its rushy bed a strain
Of impassioned love and painThe secret of my song though near
None can see and none can hear
Oh for a friend to know the sign
And mingle all their soul with mineTwas the wine of God inspired me
Twas the flame of God that fired me
If thou wouldst know how lovers bleed
Hearken, hearken to the reed – Rumi

An umbilical cord blood bank for Northern California will be launched November 15, 2007 on the steps of San Fransisco City Hall. This resource will extend the dream time for those with cancer. If this is of interest–visit joannepang.org
