tribute to a rebel

You were a rebel and an advocate for so long

I followed your bravery, step by step

and admired your courage leap by leap

not a thing clogged your ability to pursue

you lived for your creativity

and shared out your result

you collected splendid pieces of art

more importantly you lived art

with your stunning paintings

and quilts

your compositions were exceptional

you partitioned your life

so that we all got equal time

your children, your brothers, your grandchildren

and me

 

To me your battle was long and agonizing

yet not by any means did you grumble

your voice was weak

yet you showed affection in many ways

your smile was still there

and you kept that pugnacity

until you could speak no more

could not bear another breath

death came serenely
