The world stopped
Hearts throbbed
Thousands sobbed
Nature wailed
For the light had gone out
A stunned silence
A muted whisper
A bewildered stammer
An unbelieving stutter
Why so sudden?
Why in your prime?
Why without goodbye?
Why without warning?
You never aged,
Ever so vigorous,
Ever so enthused,
Ever so focused
But the heavenly clock stopped
‘Come home’ the Deity said
You have done enough
It’s time to rest in peace
Your voice, your work, have been heard
Daughter it’s time to rest
Wangari
The silence at your departure
Continues yet
But your work assumes a new life
Taken by hearts young and old
Hearts that felt your work
And want to keep it alive
