Death and the New Life

The Dream

We touch our skin in shades of gold

the light of flames warms us

our eyes draw fire from the horizon

and reflect to us a mirror world

of no possessions but only what is given

a chant, a song relieved of burden

paradise lies before us

a lush array of colours

teeming with the gift of life

the voices of our hearts whisper soft

the dream of dreams to which we surrender

forever echoes beneath our skin

we sleep connected

but live alone

The Light

Tell me tales of past lives

unveil to me what was lost

where paradise ended and this began

tell me tales of divine harmony,

when nature light as our universe

gifted us with grace

to lift ourselves from darkness

and illuminate our hearts

Tell me of the soft whisper

that turned into a breeze

and ended in a storm

tell me of the wind

that dimmed our light

and gave us a darkness

foreboding the blight

The Life

Guide me forth

world forgotten in whispers

bring news of death and the new life

for them I suffer

for them I am alive

for them I live this life

guide me forth

forgotten word

I told the truth

now let me lie

dare I dream

of paradise
