I am sharing this poem to honor my beloved wife, Dina Bangdel, and hope that it will bring some consolation to all of us. It is written by our dear friend, Dr. Miranda Shaw, Associate Professor, University of Richmond. The poem speaks the words of my heart...
DINA DEVI, LADY OF FLOWING HEART & GODDESS GRACE
Another day dawns
In the realm you departed;
Sunlight brings no cheer
Without you here to warm us;
Silence hangs heavy
Without your laughter ringing.
We move amid shadows,
Remembering your brightness.
Grieving the loss,
Searching for answers,
Until gratitude lifts us to wonder
That a goddess lived among us.
Your beauty, like a rainbow,
Still astounds us.
Your love, like a cloud,
Softly surrounds us.
We still feel the glow
Of your blessings and grace,
Still savor the nectar
You left in your wake.
Do you gaze on us from heights of glory,
Beaming joy as you did in life?
Surely you watch over us, tenderly smiling,
Ever serene, deeply at peace,
Even as we struggle below,
Fully radiant, divine in majesty,
Knowing that we will awaken
From our earthly slumber
And join you in Reality.
- Dr. Bibhakar Shakya
