Let me walk in the valley of the light and the forest of dreams.
Let me wake from this never ending nightmare.
Had I not walked this path I would have missed the garden that lined my way.
I pray do not weep, or drink, or intoxicate the pain. Let it move you, let it teach you.
Without the pain of life I would have never lived at all.
Without the pain of loss one can never know the joy of life.
Old sins cast long shadows and mine were a laugh to dance with.
The stars in my eyes and the fire in my heart never have I been more alive than in the arms of death.
My grace shall be eternal, and my memory shall live in you all who have held the broken pieces of my heart.
I wait for the day that I meet you all once more in my valley, in my forest where we shall sit and talk of all I have missed.
