NaPoWriMo Day 21: Passing Day

Swami Kriyananda, a wonderful man and spiritual leader, died early this morning. I will always be grateful that I was able to meet him and to be touched by his life.

Passing Day

For Swamiji

A day for candles to be lit

And placed on the altar

Of gratitude

A day for songs to be sung

Through tears, but still

In gratitude

A day for vows to be renewed

With dedication, and

With gratitude

A day for letting go

With peace, serenity

And gratitude

A day for remembering

And honoring a life

Both lived and left

With gratitude
