A presence I find to be everywhere
As is life, so are you, in life, so in you
Are you and life companions, sharing
A space in time all will feel your touch
In birth given a lease on life
Yet you stalk in our coming forth
Moments while still in our unawareness
Our bodies are touched by you
See we were born into that untouchable
Yet touch by it, our wages of life is you
None shall escape your ever present reality
Earth cries out in agony, as if to escape
Your shadow is cast everywhere
It is evident in the seen and unseen
How can we flee, when all nights and days
Would not even try, we are all immersed
A conundrum caught in an enigma
Dare we try to understand; insanity steps in
For all we know, is this confusion
It's as old as our existence when we strayed
Death and life kissed, all now feel the romance
Other worlds look on and can only hope
Encourage that it will not last
Closing scenes of this place are coming fast
Shadows cast are thick enough to touch
Touched even in the darkest of darkness
It started to the farthest reaches
Beyond all our machinations, imaginations
All ever lived here, overshadowed by you
This body, the only one I'll ever have here
I'm asked if it be taken to not fear
Everything not necessary to understand
A greater presence holds all in His hand
Can take this that is dust, for the just
When all sleep on our darkest of nights
Plans, hopes and dreams placed on hold
If be for a chance to rejuvenate for another day
Many kept in this estate, to sleep away
Others released to live another day
May it be that moment our separation occurs
When these bodies after our toil, lay down
The aeons of eternity will now allow us in
Be encouraged the body we will come into
Be the one most pleasant and comfortable
It will feel as we always wore it
Fit for us, even taylor made fit
The garment we wore, invisible, yet visible
Will be laid to rest, where is your sting!
Oh grave where is your victory!
Just wait and see, finally we'll be free!
