She was a whisper in the wind's embrace, a dance among the mountains' lofty grace. Her spirit untamed, wild and free, forever woven into forest and trees. She found solace in the wild terrain, felt the sun's warmth, the cleansing rain. From bustling cities, she escaped, to where the heart of nature gently shaped. Each sunrise found her keen and bright, embracing every day with pure delight. In rushing rivers, a reflection of her soul, a vibrant current making her whole. Though trails she walked now lie unseen, her joyful echoes forever green. Look for her in every rustling leaf, In every bloom, a moment of relief. She's the song the birds sing in the morning light, The glimmer of stars on a clear, cool night. Her laughter carried on the wind's soft sigh, living on memories that will never die. We grieve not for her absence, but rejoice in the life she led, a spirit forever soaring, unencumbered, unwed. She taught us to live fully, to cherish every day, to find beauty in the world, come what may. Her journey on this earth may be complete, but her spirit lingers, forever sweet. In every wild place, her memory will remain, a guiding light until we meet again.
