The Road to Eternity

I was running, chasing time No space to stop, no warning signs But then he came, so calm, so slow Said, "Come with me, it's time to go" Left behind the weight I carried All my worries, all my plans Didn't fight, I let him take me Held my hand so soft and steady Through the streets where children played Past the fields in golden waves Watched the sun slip down so low Didn't know where we would go But the ride was never fast And forever came too soon Felt the cold air brush my skin Dressed in silk so paper-thin Saw a 'house' carved in the ground With no doors and no way out Years have passed or maybe hours Time dissolves like fading flowers Still I see those horses' eyes Pulling me toward endless skies Through the streets where children played Past the fields in golden waves Watched the sun slip down so low Didn't know where we would go But the ride was never fast And forever came too soon I was running, chasing time Never thought I'd cross that line But he smiled, and took my hand Whispered, "Hope you understand"
