[hometext] => death passes into life
[bodytext] => Dark damp doors Showed me where you lay Still and quiet All alone and grey White washed walls Wept bitter tears Alone in isolation Entangled in guilty fears I begged you to rise But you continued to stare Into empty nothingness So I continued standing there Your thin tired lips Were icy cold Your eyes shut tightly Your body growing old But then I noticed On your pale stretched face A lonely tear slowly dropped In a slow unhurried pace. From your eye It tumbled down Your sloping cheek Onto your silky white gown There it rested It seemed for eternity Working the divine Striving for purity Sudden light shone Through thick heavy walls The floors shook Darkness fled empty halls Then a white dove flew in And nestled on your head You started to move When I thought you were dead Your cheeks began to shine Your mouth produced a smile And your eyes opened I stood there for a while Your green eyes sparkled As I looked on Soaking up the silence While your face radiantly shone. You reached out And drew me to your side Whispered in my ear: “Is it true that I died?” You died, yes But now you are here In a place of the living Alive with me my dear.
