In Loving Memory of Qing Han

A girl dressed in darkness,

With a hole where her heart should be,

With nothing but a red string threaded through,

A red string that connected two souls,

Plugged into their hearts while listening to the same song,

Lying on the ground,

With wildflowers sprouting through the skin and soul,

Looking out from in a fishbowl of a universe,

Golden fish swimming with glowing stars,

The blue,

The black,

The purple,

The in between,

Around the hands and hearts,

A Rapunzel,

Painting her dreams of stars into a sky,

With nothing but an IV keeping her dreams alive,

And the girl,

Eating the stars and the moon and the sky,

Grabbing the sky and wiping it onto her face,

Freckles of stars dancing over her cheeks,

The world of a galaxy in every one.

The galaxies you dream of,

The ones you expressed,

The ones you inspired millions with,

Aren’t dreams anymore.

Paint the stars and sky with ease.

Qing Han (@qinniart) passed away a few days ago after her long battle against cancer, leaving millions of people who were inspired by her art devastated. In memory of her, they built a hashtag (#galaxiesforqinni) that truly touches the soul. Make sure to check out the love everyone has expressed for her.
