Time For Me To Go
i am drifting, just moving aimlessly
by a single current of air
floating through an emptiness
without purpose, without care
my mind it contains nothing
my body has been displaced
submerged in an arid desert
i could vanish without a trace
but would you actually notice
that i was no longer here
alone in a solitary wonder
an awe of tempting fear
i am unresponsive and cold
hearing a calm, soothing voice
an absence of disturbance
she must understand my choice
a kind, beautiful woman
her wings shine with pure gold
she's leading me to safety
her hand is there to hold
a narrow beam of light
invites me on my way
i give rise to the desire
she needs not to persuade
this could be extraordinary
as i enter the unknown
i'm going onto better things
and it's time for me to go
