Fate's Descent

My body rests in a dark chamberAs I am receiving final farewellsA saddened silence fills the airThe smell of flowers, the smell of deathThe latch is opened, my skin reflects the lightA short prayer is recited in my honourSome take a step forward, their stares descendLooks of deception, looks of despairSome are faceless, some are caught in the momentCommunication at light speed occursfaster than words can be expressedOne-way telepathy provides the living soulsa sense of presence when left aloneA mental sketch is tattooed on their mindstime to say their "adieux" arrivesMy vessel sealed, a cold breeze strikes the world beyondI am imprisioned from the world of lightSome induce tears, hostage to emotionLooking from above, I can feel their pain... I will guidePurity resists, faith will overcome... I surviveThey forgive my sins, I can feel the peace... Of my lifeLooking through their soulsTimeless sense of loss, overtaking thee... I will guideWith a mere remorse, they will call to me... I surviveTell the secrets of an unforgotten past... Of my lifeLooking 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 beingAs I watch over and comfort theeA last prayer in unison beginsForever lasting, words do not diePriceless balance"You feel I have abandoned you, but it is you who left me behind"
