“What great souls leave behind” * 

Belief in woman power

Lifting the skies of possibilities

Standing on infinite integrity

Steadfast to justice,

Balancing judgements and consequences,

Consistent, persistent, grounded 

Humbly, teaching how to lift endurance,

for what must be done, mindful of the marginalized

building strength of womens’ voices

gender and orientation choices.  

Great soul Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Gone.  

The forests of righteousness are sparse.

Elements of clean air, water, truth

Are choking.

Earth shudders in remorse of loss.

But great souls leave us 

With memory of great deeds, 

Hope and resolve to stand 

To overcome

To re-forest justice.

*From  When Great Trees Fall, by Maya Angelou
