Eyovah

November 15th 1972 - April 19th 2000


Fly, Dragon, fly
Wings carry you home
Up past the sky
And further you roam

Fly, Dragon fly
Wind under your wings
Carry you free
To where the world sings

Fly, Dragon fly
Your great wings unfurled
You'll live long in our hearts
Though you're gone from this world

Fly, Dragon, fly
I will miss you, my friend
Now I guess it's goodbye
But never the End...

-- Syndrynas.
Words cannot express
what is going through
me as I think of you
brother of my soul, I cannot
find the words to express the
deep feeling of grief going
through me as I write these words

So short I have known you
in this life, but your marks on my
life will be there forever,
my beautiful brother Eyovah,
I cannot grasp the reason why
you had to leave this place

but, spread your wings and fly my dearest
and watch over those who stay behind
you have touched so many hearts
with your llight and your compassion

my heart weeps soft tears of desparation
and rekindles the feelings we shared and
the warmth of the love we still feel for each other

You are in my heart forever, my big brother.
I will see you on the other side when my time comes
and I will wrap my arms around you, as I so
desparately longed to do in this life with you

I love you forever
your sister Karamah
Young tree growing upward, growing upward toward the sky,
I wish I could have changed your mind, the day the winds blew by
Young tree growing upward, growing upward toward the sky,
I wish I could have changed your mind, but you would not let me try.
From East a gale howled that hurled your leaves into the mist
From South a fire raged that burned away both mill and grist
From West there rushed a flooded stream that drowned all in its path
and from North there yawned a chasm deep that swallowed joy and wrath
Young tree, you were supple, you could bend when winds were high
Young tree, you were slender and the flames would pass you by
Young tree, you were thirsty and your roots withstood the stream
as they traveled down the chasm to the underworld of dream.
Why, then, did you rend your limbs asunder in the storm
and leave them where the fire would engulf your broken form?
Why, then, did you let the river take your ash away
To the chasm where you're ever lost to those who had to stay?
Young tree growing upward, growing upward toward the sky,
I wish I could have changed your mind, the day the winds blew by
Young tree growing upward, growing upward toward the sky,
I wish I could have changed your mind, but you would not let me try.
I wish I could have changed your mind, but you would not let me try.
I wish I could have changed your mind, but you would not let me try.

Farewell to Dragonsmiles and grins

Wings of spirit peace go with thee to where you find your resting place hero of worlds unknown to me the Dragon flies with grace

The one whom the stars called brother has passed again into their warm embrace Peace be with him who was like no other he has gone home and now soars across space

Those left behind will always remember him for he freely gave his sage advice, words from the heart and a dragongrin For him friendship had no price.

Farewell to the brother I never knew the dragon who's heart was true.

-- Karyss Shadowswalker (poet behind time)

For years I'd been lost,
you helped me find my path,
in this community of Kin
I had come home at last.

Though the moments we shared
were all too brief,
I hold them close in my heart
and can smile through my grief.

The shimmering of a rainbow,
a small promise to make,
I know we'll meet again,
the bond will never break.

So spread your wings, dragon,
and leap to fly,
spiralling higher and higher,
into the star-filled sky.

A single moment,
frozen forever in my mind,
the beauty that is you,
I will love for all time.
