With Ingrid Below

Alas my mind so lofty,  silence broods with the past 
My mouth resounds a freedom anthem and sorrow diminishes 
as my eyes fall upon her portrait.

With ingrid below, 

I proclaim her pearls of wisdom 
pon the embers of community.
Bless the smouldering windswepts 
as they strive to hold the fire 

With ingrid below,

they walk shadowed sorrowful.
