Forever
By John Trent

Emptiness his gateway, gold flame his key
With ribbons of frankincense his mind will be free
Heavy his burden the toll of his day
He prepares for the journey as light fades to grey

Aromas of incense his deep breaths exhaled
Eyes lightly closed the darkness avails
The journey begins. Great vastness explored
His mind starts to empty as he opens the door

There is no beginning at infinity’s end
The destination he seeks is eternally within
In silent existence the traveler's unseen
Today’s burden lost so peaceful and serene

Forever he is and eternal his soul
In harmony his mind as all become whole
The Gateway re-opens as dark turns to light
His soul returns eternally bright
