In memory of Sinead O’Connor

 

 

Fare ye well, our beloved Sinead

 

In that stillness grace, beyond breath

may you

Find warmth, in your child’s embrace

 

Nothing compares to that unblemished

veracity

You imbued into every song, every note

 

In your suffering we witnessed your defiance

Your life, a legacy of unflinching bravery

Hoping you may now be granted that serenity

Which evaded you in life, may you find peace

 

By your music’s capacity to empathise

By your sincerity’s, authentic river of tears

By your willingness to strive for justice

Your resplendent effervescence

shall evermore

Shine, indomitably sublime!

 

Rest ye well, our troubled friend
