The Theran Mystique - Volume 6, Issue 5
Obituary/Tribute: Sysill - Triffilina

Their is nothing that breaks the heart more than waking to find a dear friend departed. I only knew Sysill for a brief time - Too brief, I find - but it was long enough to recognize our similar love for stories, humor, and above all a great dish of mushrooms.

Had it not been for Sysill, I do not think I would have become a Herald. And so I owe her, more than anything, a suitable tribute. This is for you, my dear.

(Be Peace)

Let the ruffles of passersby sway seductively
and the voices tap twice on the concrete stand
hands poised; fingers touching; we lift our souls
and live, whriling in the ecstasy of it,
oblivious to the beauty of its complexity, immersed
in daily rhythms of light and dark and the tug
of the moon's tide and our hearts beating hello,
our smiles whispering goodbye, and the trees
and the birds and the stars in the oceans twinkling along
in their own dances, twiling between skies and
around this lonely sphere of stone,
endowing it with celestial signifigance

(We may be blind to it all,
but despite all the anger and the bloodshed
and tears and disdain it persists,
witing for us to see,
waiting for us to smile,)
