I close my eyes to worldly skies I leave behind the day And deep within me, I shall begin To chase my thoughts away As loved ones hold me to their sides Their strength flows into me To cast me out of sorrow's blindness Into eternity
I thought I heard them softly calling The voices of the spheres As light years flash forever falling Away from waking fears I reach out, try to touch the passing Of beings bathed in light But they just smile, their eyes not asking To see beyond their sight
I thought I saw the candle-bearers On their way to the beyond Beckon to me from the future To come and join the throng I stepped upon the silver tightrope Balancing beliefs And wings unfurling with a new hope I left behind my griefs
