"the White Light"

Feed the white light for me....
feed the white light for me....
feed the white light for me....
feed the white light!

Your heart in my hand
your blood on my skin
you look into my face
but you dont see me...
hands firmly grappling the neck
the nails deep in the flesh
I whisper in your ear
but you dont hear me...

Do you hear the angels singing???
do you feel their soft wings???
has the wait been worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth coming???
have you climbed the mountain???
do you see the white light???

Do you hear the angels singing???
do you hear the harps???
wasn't suffering worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth coming???
have you climbed the mountain???
don't you see heaven???

Your breath in my hand
your tears on my skin
I press you firmly to me
but don't you feel me...
fingers softly stroke the stomach
the body's screaming response

I moan in your ear
but you don't hear me...

Do you hear the angels singing???
do you feel their soft wings??? 
has the wait been worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth coming???
have you climbed the mountain???
do you see the white light???

Do you hear the angels singing???
do you hear the harps???
wasn't suffering worthwhile???
do you feel the warmth???
have you climbed the mountain???
don't you see heaven???

Your poem is very touching, Kristen. I have faith that those who pass on hear the angels and harps and find peace in the "white light." Best wishes, Carolyn
