Fate's Descent

My body rests in a dark chamber
As I am receiving final farewells
A saddened silence fills the air
The smell of flowers, the smell of deathThe latch is opened, my skin reflects the light
A short prayer is recited in my honour
Some take a step forward, their stares descend
Looks of deception, looks of despairSome are faceless, some are caught in the momentCommunication at light speed occurs
faster than words can be expressed
One-way telepathy provides the living souls
a sense of presence when left aloneA mental sketch is tattooed on their minds
time to say their "adieux" arrives
My vessel sealed, a cold breeze strikes the world beyond
I am imprisioned from the world of lightSome induce tears, hostage to emotionLooking from above, I can feel their pain
... I will guide
Purity resists, faith will overcome
... I survive
They forgive my sins, I can feel the peace
... Of my life
Looking through their soulsTimeless sense of loss, overtaking thee
... I will guide
With a mere remorse, they will call to me
... I survive
Tell the secrets of an unforgotten past
... Of my life
Looking through my soul...Voiceless.. but present...Some can feel it, some ignore the forcesAs I descend into the depths of goodbyesThe raining earth is bestowed upon my being
As I watch over and comfort theeA last prayer in unison beginsForever lasting, words do not die
Priceless balance"You feel I have abandoned you, but it is you who left me behind"
