Seafarers shall be saved, though waves may
deem them dead, lost in the ocean's fray
they shall not perish, nor shall they be afraid
nor falter, though their earthly woes be done.
They shall tame the deep, brave the mighty Charybdis*
and win release to heaven's blessed throne.
Nor shall the poor be stilled in death's dark tomb;
they shall enjoy the fruits their earthly span denied
and reap full harvest as they rule the Pleiades!**
The lame will mark their years well spent
in painful suffering at the world's behest,
for they will revel with the wild Eumenides!***
The realm of death is nothing to be feared,
though sting of loss shall curdle in the breasts
of the deserted they will finally comprehend
true love's eternal message in their hearts;
the special blessing of the ones who heed the call,
the realm of heaven draws all the faithful home.
* Charybdis a mythical sea monster characterised as a whirlpool.
** Pleiades an open star cluster among those closest to Earth.
*** Eumenides the Greek deities of Vengeance.

You'll walk
and you will see
what remains
of your destiny
unreal sights
and sounds of the
other world
have penetrated
the walls of
your exsistence
a thin grey smoke
is rising
from the ground
you'll ask and
you'll ask again
what the fates
have in store for you
but you may not be asking
the right questions
the other wordl
has its own
rules
where the fates,
the Muse and the
avenging Eumenides
play by
their own rules
light poring
down from the sky
signals another day
hold on, brothers, hold on
to the chariot
which pulls your hopes
open your eyes and view the day
Later on, you may not
get the chance
