The Passage

POEM "THE PASSAGE" by martin gedge

On the outside looking in

I'm the passage on the wind

shadow serpent of the heart

born of light to pierce the dark

keeper of the gravely soul

as death will follow where I go

for eyes to wonder while they rest

to clean and rinse to fold and press

for those who line the body box

I shall refrain the chain and locks

to give the sight of whence you came

across the skies of burning flame

to open doors and drop the slate

onto the floors of garden gate

that dead shall rise to breathe of again

to walk in fields of gods amen....
