Ere Aye - Life Is a Game

She came she strived 
She forged through 
Making success a mockery 
Your dance a mystery 
Your laugh an history
It was a disturbing wonder 
To leave and not be forgotten 
Lying still but not silent 
Breaking fetters 
Crossing borders 
Draining the years 
Running like sand 
Between her feet 
She moulded an extra day 
Moulding her words to life 
Made rainbow across a darkened sky
Showered dew on the deadened lives 
Arousing the buried night
Bringing all a troubled sleep
Bridging two worlds 
Fulfilling the dream 
Raking all the unripened fruits 
Into a ripening basket 
Inviting her world 
To a ripened Feast
