Extraordinary Chieko

Chieko sees what cannot be seen,
Hears what cannot be heard.

Chieko goes where no-one else can go,
Does what no-one else can do.

Chieko doesn't see the physical me,
She yearns for the me behind me.

Chieko has lifted off the burden of pain
And drifted into a realm of grace and beauty.

I hear her voice calling over and over to me
But Chieko no longer has a ticket to the human world.

The Chieko
