Beyond the Gate
On gentle currents of the air
I'll take my rest, my final rest,
my essence gliding on the waves
of time's eternal peacefulness.
I'll see the ocean of your tears
like waterfalls born deep, flow free,
and hear the vows that linger still
upon devotion's buoyancy.
The winds of promise soon will change
the fear and sorrow I now see
and spread love's everlasting flame
across the skies eternally.
Though yesterdays were lost along
time's never-ending silken thread,
we found beliefs that will transcend
the ecstasy that passion spread...
For we discovered higher truths
that reach beyond this earthly plain,
beyond the fleshly fantasies,
surpassing all, the greatest gain.
And when you pass beyond life's gate,
your eyes effused with joyful tears,
you'll see me in the light of love
that banishes the deepest fears.
