In Memory of Ruth Bader Ginsburg My soul now feels thinner, As though I’ve lost someone dear, While the trees are losing their leaves, Ripped away by a chill wind. Nearby, the stream is wailing, too. I stumble onward, as I must, Without shadow of your notorious safety, Walking into a dark unknown. I hold you, wrapped in silk In an inside pocket, Bound by ribbons of justice, Close to the necessary pain I carry. Tonight I will hear the lament sung by women, Feel the anguish, morn your passing. I will blow the shofar into the emptiness, Feel the shifting sand under my feet.
What a beautiful tribute! You expressed what I feel in my heart. I feel I have lost someone very dear to me, someone I could trust. I feel it in my soul. She battled to save us inspire of her physical pain. What an incredible warrior! Suzy
