Like a secret shadow you touched our lives passing by
A life so brief yet so monumental…
Like a shooting star you cut into the dark night sky
With your look and smile it now all seem so surreal
Inside your veins a passion for justice looms,
In stillness you work until the arid desert blooms
Your heart pulsates with love and compassion
Your mind breaks out in the brightness of your vision
Although the oppressors were able to kill your body
Your joy and vision lives on fresh in our memory,
You are wind and sky and sun and earth in all my parts,
You are now my breath and thought, the blood and beat of my heart.
