dverse...55
it has been such a beautiful afternoon
i watch the sky flyers
i did not know it was you
flying with them
your soul lighting the way
it has been such a beautiful afternoon
the world will mourn you
O Nelson Mandela
it has been such a beautiful afternoon
rest in peace with the angels
Oh my, this is very appropriate for today..thanks for this and passing it on...
ReplyDeleteA fine tribute to a fine man. A flame is extinguished but it keeps burning bright. Good one Rallentanda!

Geese are an ancient Christian symbol. Did you know this? Unfortunately Dodo's lack their charm and grace in flight.
ReplyDeleteNelson always gave one the feeling he was a gentle and compassionate man. Someone you would want as a grandfather to turn to for help. Such qualities cannot be faked. Imagine spending 27 years in prison and on your release wishing your captors well rather than seeking vengeance. For that alone he is a remarkable man.
May he rest in peace.
Oh what a tribute.. So many of then - the contrast with the beautiful afternoon works so well
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. If only the people with power followed his advice rather than just admiring it. :-/
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Rest in peace Madiba.
ReplyDeleteSo honoured that you've used the framework of my article to commemorate, pay tribute, to such an amazing soul.
ReplyDeleteThe honour is mine Semaphore!
