Pas de Deux
A Tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, and Mother Theresa
6 September 1997
by Auriette Lindsey

With a rending of metal
and quiet dignity
your souls were loosed,
leaving us
the lesser.

Queens of Heart,
Ambassadors of Hope,
you touched us.
Taught us.
Inspired us.

Heaven's brighter now,
your souls sparkling,
shining.
Beacons of love.
And Earth is lonely.
