The voice of gentle Giant rests

The voice
Of a gentle Genius
Quiet forever
The father of Philida
Historically correct
Politically
Said
With respect

The voice
Of a gentle Genius
Captured forever
The creator of A Dry White Season
Leader of the Sestigers
Lover, Father, Professor
Your gifts to the world
Growing in our hearts

The voice
Of a gentle Genius
Lives forever
The giver of Before I forget
Takes his last bow
Visionary, Interpreter, Liberator
Vacant we find your place
We can only hope to follow in that narrow space


In memory of Writer Professor Andre P. Brink, by Simone Beatrice Naik Hagfeldt, 2015-02-07.
