There are worlds upon worlds.
We came here under contract
To forget.
Yet does your heart not hold
A whisper of home?
Do you not feel a longing
For return?
We endure this dark way station,
Where pains and sorrows
Multiply.
We think we learn of love
In all its many forms,
Yet we drink a weak brew,
The taste of real Love
Forgotten.
Here we turn around,
To retrace our footsteps
Through the universe of Spirit,
That ocean of Love.
With joy we join our caravan
Of forgotten friends and lovers,
Our tribe of gypsy souls.
We bang our drum
And sing of our return.
Again we travel
Joyful,
Begin that endless journey,
Shall navigate the
Timeless Realms,
Our compass ever pointing
The way to
The One.
We may linger
Here and there,
There are worlds of such beauty.
But Creator
Ever calls to us,
Come closer to my Light.
We grow ever lighter,
Shine ever brighter
As we answer the call.
Our destiny a homecoming,
Now purely of Light,
Beings of Spirit,
Welcomed by angels,
We join their chorus
Ever rejoicing
In orbit of
The One.
