In Memoriam: Margaret Legum
Like a raven in the night
You’ve taken flight
Taken flight
Towards the light
Like a sliver of the moon
You’re gone too soon
Gone too soon
With one last swoon
Like a current in the stream
You’re flowing free
Flowing free
Towards the sea
Like the whisper of a sigh
You’ve bid goodbye
Bid goodbye
With one last why
Like a rainbow in the mist
You’re dearly missed
Dearly missed
Forever missed

Life in Transit: Favourite Travel & Tribute Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together travel and tribute poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology pays tribute to the likes of Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Barack Obama, Antoni Gaudí & Leonardo da Vinci, and reflects on travels ranging from China and South Africa to Ecuador and Russia. Life is lived in the in-between / In transit / Between coming and going / Between staying and moving on / Between here and there / And what we call home / What we call settled or contented / Is merely a resting place / A station for refuelling / A nexus for reconnecting / A junction for changing direction.
