Dream walkers came to me last night
Took me to the doors of death
Angels without wings
Guarding either side of the door
Singing, "to close to the water, to far from the sun, time is flowing, it cannot be undone."
I knew a friend who passed this way once
His footsteps a path I unable to follow
I turned my palms upward
Eyes in my hands searching
"With eyes to see, and ears to hear, time is ending, know no fear."
The doors opened to me
I heard Solomon singing
The only hallelujah I think God would ever want to hear
A voice made of golden threads
Looking burnt as ash
Against the steps of the throne
I pressed my forehead to the ground
Marble leeching its cold fingers into my thoughts
This is humility
To cry at the foot of God
Aching to pour out the sins of my heart onto the floor
And not one word ever leaving my lips
Will the earth ever settle again
Dust racing for the stars
An emulsion of eternity
Scouring the heavens
I to humble to mercy
To proud for regret
