May you find peace, dear one

[shirebound]

ethereal_hobbit, our dear Nivina, has died in a tragic accident. I'm so shaken up I can't even think straight.

*clings to all of you*

The smallest flower that breathes but a day
Distills its fragrance into sweet perfume,
Garbs itself with grace in bright array -
Exquisite, brief intensity in bloom.
Whether the notes of life are short or long,
From end to end what matters is the song.

from "A Measure of Life", Marjorie Wright Miller
