---

tonight I woke with a start,

again, like so many times before,

lying in silence and feel

the raindrops pat against the window,

lonely, I marvel at the open gate

of the inner universe

It would be no more than a step

to where delusive time fades,

matter crumbles and turns to dust,

doubt grows distant

and all so unreal,

breaking the dawn of emptiness

I've been there before,

there's no denying it,

It would be easy once more,

maybe I'll do it again,

lie into the lap of oblivion,

ever a piece of me remains there

no! I won't move this time

and resist the calling,

there's someone waiting for me,

every day I must prove

that all the burdens of life

are no more than a fleeting fantasy

in a bursting reality

my existence gains a new meaning,

in the revelation of truth,

shining again, I feel it,

ringing eternity

atones for every sin,

a part of me has resurrected

in it, for it - I live,

now all's so clear!
