On Monday, I learned from my sister that one of my followers, Charisse Cecil (aka CSoulScribe) passed away that morning. She was 32, and died fairly quickly.
I only met Charisse once, while stopping by my sister's office, but something about her really caught my attention and I knew we'd chat more when I met her again. I was delighted when she started to follow my blog, as she was my first almost-stranger to do so. And I especially liked that she decided to follow because she liked my use of the word "woebegone" in one of my posts. I found it both cool and unusual that a single word would catch someone's attention like that.
This week my sister shared some of Charisse's writing with me. I'll urge you to read these three short poems based on photographs taken by other artists. And for those of you who knew Charisse better than I did, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Farewell, stairwell

Those poems are a singular legacy. Thank you for sharing them, Gaby. Peace to Charisse and all who loved her.
