For Ava
by: Sonja Moore

Vessel of the Divine
Gentle soul
Transcendental spirit
Remarkable being incapable of hate
Determined dreamer whose mind was her vehicle of freedom
Rebellious, defiant, destined for immortality
Indomitable artisan aremd with parch & pen...pad & pencil
Youthful exuberance feeds inspiration
Bard, djeli, griot, teacher...
She has stepped into the river of creation so her spirit flows on
Forever
