Tribute to the sleeping sister

Written by Ras Zando

You have answered your call

Fetched from the recesses of your soul;

Expressed with uniformity of passion oh songbird!

You have donned the stage without fear,

Administering grace to the listening ear{{more}}

Finished are your pages

Inscribed with an indelible ink

Your deeds and hope moved from time to the sleeping chambers

Where they surely fink

Sleep now oh sister of once

Rest those dancing feet from this earthly feat

For in the corridor of justice

We all shall surely meet

I wish for you not to dwell in the everlasting dark of shame and contempt

But to beam as the brightness of the permanent

Then shall truly be a shining star
