  • A Personal Tribute to Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore, from Abdalhamid Evans
    Oh Servant of The Living!
    We Salute you...
    Unswerving hunter of the birds of meaning
    You gathered them in for us
    Great exotic plumed birds
    like we had never seen before
    You brought them to graze awhile
    in the bright clearing of our imaginations,
    to teach and illuminate
    and remind us
    of our lives and our deaths.
    I wanted to find a bird, for memory of you
    even if only a sparrow
    common, garden, brown...
    But instead
    I dug the soil
    and planted my favourite flowers
    with their round green leaves
    and yellow and orange trumpets
    to climb the fence in the afternoon sunlight,
    to sing praise and glory.
    We are humbled by the radiance of your life
    and even more by your final gift...
    The Immense Dignity Of Your Departure,
    like a poem written in a dying breath.
    Our gathering supplications rise from all corners
    like great wide rippling flocks of birds
    pulled up by the gravity of heaven.
    Oh what bright footsteps you leave!
    May The Living take you to the highest of your visions...!
    and then beyond...
    and may we follow with the best of them.
    I wanted to write...
    but it was your words that came to me
    as I dug the earth


    Abdalhamid Evans
