POSTLIFE TIME

Found herself long in the tooth
Burdened with responsibilities 
As the clock kept ticking 
Being hospitable began to wane
Regardless of hope keeping in touch 

Working harder had become symbolic
For she had a negligible threshold
That supremely played a crucial part
A part in soaking all the fitness up
Until she lost the spiritedness 

Did all she accessed for the fruits
Bore all the affliction of misfortune 
Spoke many languages to herself
Walked long miles wall-to-wall 
But couldn't control her fate

This heightened sensivity was a sword 
Double-edged through the feelings
At times sympathy was highly valuable
The blues discerned from the seeds
The high sensitivity to others' emotions

Amid such grief, she's into being mellow
Avoided and crossed numerous arrows
The Omniscient providing for her with pillow
Here comes the relief, there goes the sorrows
Behold, it's time for the land to remain fallow
