The Far Edge of Life

On the far edge of life
i camped.
In sight of all,
   but open to none.

On the far edge of life
i was.
Existing like others,
   but dead to the world.

On the far edge of life
she found me.
I don't know how,
   i'll never know why.

She came, Bo Ra did,
to the far edge of life.
   And pulled me back in,
Like the sun pulls the earth.

Her breath gave me life.
Her tears warmed my heart.
Her smile opened my eyes.
Her love gave me purpose.

She came, Bo Ra did,
to the far edge of life.
And she brought me to love.
And she brought me to life.

And she taught me to forgive.
And she taught me to believe.
And she taught me to dream.
And she taught me so well
   That there is no hope
      On that far edge of life.

She came, Bo Ra did,
to the far edge of life.
And brought me back home
to this side of life.
