\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dedicated to Lan Zhang by Helene de Boissiere<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What news did I hear, from your beloved!<\/p>\n

A voice strong in the storm and winds of change,<\/p>\n

One symbolic of your great love for each other,<\/p>\n

Your passion, their passion for all things and creatures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I only met you once, a true force of nature.<\/p>\n

Your presence was strong, your protective ways,<\/p>\n

Of those, you hold near and dear, and those too far away,<\/p>\n

The love and light shone from your eyes brightly.<\/p>\n

\n

I observed the great love between glances across the table.<\/p>\n

You took everything and gave so freely,<\/p>\n

to so many with out a blink or reservation,<\/p>\n

I wondered if I would ever find a love like yours of my own.<\/p>\n

\n

I give you my word most honorable and supreme One.<\/p>\n

That I will do my best for those who are left behind,<\/p>\n

In the enormous empty place, you once filled.<\/p>\n

I know that you and the ancestors will look out for us from the heavens above.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flying Dragon and your handsome Prince of Hearts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are strong with the lessons you left behind,<\/strong><\/p>\n

for many to ponder and contemplate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, oh, Sweet, Supreme Lan you are most Loved.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
