One night I left my body
I open my mouth, no sound
An aura of wondernment,
Of curiosity escape
My thoughts.
From far desolate
Corners of my soul.
I remember you
Entering my mind,
Emerging from an abyss,
Of eternal bliss in darkness,
Nowhere to hang onto,
My hands slide,
I am bound to you,
Unending debt to your touch,
To your song, playing
Endlessly
I have fallen
Into flames
Please let me go
Let me emerge into the sky
Into the heavens
Angels save me
From this abyss of
Silence
I feel feathers of an
Angel wing
I slowly emerge
Memories pulsate through me
As I ascend thru each cloud
I fall asleep once more
I see your face emerge from my
Dream
I feel you emerge from my
Body
