Bridge Of Dreams

Those who passed on going their ways.
While we who love them stay behind.
To face a lifetime of empty days.

____________________________________

While in those dreams they cross the bridge.
Spanning breadth of time and space.
There we meet again with them.
To touch a well worn beloved face.

___________________________________

Hearkened to by the call of St Peter.
They can only stay a short while.
But nothing better for the soul.
Than to walk and talk a mile.

___________________________________

We the heirs of their precious dreams.
Go forth to face the human race.
Being all they ever hoped we would.
Sharing with them this living grace.

___________________________________

Skipping along meter by meter.
We dance to life's endless tune.
Singing and chanting around the fire.
Beneath the gaze of the Harvest Moon.

___________________________________

Passing the dreams of this generation.
Onto the next souls in our line.
We carry with us their undying love.
For a life sweet,gentle and divine!
