Eva's Gift

A golden voice

wrapped in an anomaly;

a voice that had no label,

and could sing anything.


Always questioning

why anyone would listen

to her;

not yet realizing,...


And when she sang,

she did not just sing,

she painted and sculpted

with harmonies and melodies.


Her voice entered your ears,

and filled your soul with hope,

your heart with love,

and your mind with beauty.


But deep inside,

lurked a pain

she kept hidden

until it was too much;


It ate her body,

it whittled her bones;

it tried to hold her down

and scare her.


Death stared into her eyes

and tried to silence her.

She sang, and her golden voice

raised us all up.


Her body has left now.

But, her voice remains.

Give her an apple, she thinks she has a diamond ring.

She gave us her art, and we have

hope, and love, and beauty,....
