The Return

The long walk is over, your shell is cast aside The doors of the heavens are opening wide The embers are cooling, the long day is done The stars are all melting back into the Sun You’ve carried your lantern through valley and steep But the silence is calling, a promise to keep Lay down your burdens, the heavy and old Your story is silver, your essence is gold. If there were shadows between us, they fade No heavy burdens, no words delayed, Like a prayer that is softly made Now silence heals what the heart conveyed Forgiveness is blooming, a white, beautiful flower In this sacred, final, pure and resting hour. The Infinite Breath is drawing you near Washing the dust and the leftover fear Thank you for being the warmth in our hand The footprint of love in the shifting of sand The pulse of the universe that hummed in your chest Thank you for being and now genly called to rest. Back to the One, back to the peace In the arms of the One where you find your release. We thank you for the laughter that lingers in the air, For the quiet ways of loving and the kindness you could share. Your life is a treasure that we carry in our chest, Your life full of memories where our hearts can rest. You are light like a feather now floating with the wind Moving with the spirit through the ancient calling within. Thank you for staying as long as you could For being the soul, for being the good. The source is calling... the lights are coming home To merge with the One heartbeat, no longer alone. The Infinite Breath is drawing you near Washing the dust and the leftover fear Thank you for being the warmth in our hand The footprint of love in the shifting of sand The pulse of the universe that hummed in your chest Thank you for being and now gently called to rest. Back to the One, back to the peace In the arms of the One where you find your release. Everything is forgiven... Everything is light... Thank you for living Let the peace reside... (Thank you...)
