Light My Path

My loneliness has left me
Seeking solace from the dead
And through your own passage you shall meet with your true self
I’ll wash my life away in the waters of this river
Joining the grave of my forebearers
And they speak to me in an ancient tongue
A language without words
Known by all kinds
Like a lightning bolt struck through my spine
They reveal me their secrets
They’re taking me with them
I don’t know your name
But I feel you’re present
Mother, reclaim me
When I return to where I’ve come from
And I shall call you Gaia
Through the darkest moment
All that I’ll leave behind
A stranded empty shell
Bathing in the morning light
It would have been a beautiful day to be alive
Nevertheless, a good day to die
I don’t know your name
But you guide my way
Father, light my path
As I step into the unknown
I have waited for this moment
For so very long
Father, I am afraid to go alone
I have waited for so long
