Restless, tortured wanderer, I mourn not this day of your passing, in truth I envy that you are free; freed to LOVE. I celebrate this anniversary of your departing, knowing in my soul that you are happy now, bound no longer by illusions of flesh and societal constraints that were an ever tightening noose around your beautiful throat. You are where one day I pray and strive each moment to reach, to be, at peace; tears of joy, not grief I weep for you my dearest friend, gone on to the heaven’s bliss before me…

For Sarah, known to this world formerly as Soudabeh, May 9th, 2002

just LOVE…
Kip Baldwin
