| First AIDS Memorial Grove offering by Audrey DeChadenedes, 9/30/2022 |
Quiet now
yet their voices louder here
than when they walked among us
with cries unheard.
Peaceful now
yet alive in eternal remembrance
with the unconditional acceptance
they sought in life.
Gone now
yet their unique images reflected
in our tears that fall and bind them
to the circle of our shared grief.
