Hanging on by my fingertips
Dirt under my nails
The endless pit below my dangling feet
I'm slipping

They're calling my name down there

Don't look down

It starts to rain
I'm losing my grip

Still they call my name

I claw and grab
But the soil is slipping away in muddy rivers

Dirt and tears sting my eyes

They call my name

Maybe i should just let go
I mean how long can i hang on anyway

I close my eyes and contemplate

Then
Through the lids a bright red glow

I open my eyes
The rain has stopped

There is only beautiful glowing radiance
No words just pure joyeous light
conveying one message

Let go

Suprised at first i claw at the dirt
Panicked

Let go

Loving comforting energy fills me

Let go

I stop struggling
I release
And drop

The voices from below rush towards me
Or i towards them

We love you David
Let go
Come back to us now
You're safe here
Let her go David
She's gone but we're still here
We love you
It's not your fault

The next day i finally visit my daughters grave
I release her from my heart
Though she will always be there
To play and wait for me in the golden fields
