Did you linger in the space above my bed?
Did you stop and whisper, “I’m right here, sleepyhead.”
Did you turn your face to some glorious light?
Was there anyone there to guide you?
Is everything alright?
Did they ask you, when you reached the sacred gate?
Was the Holy One before you? Or did some terror wait?
Did you just say, “Jesus.” Did they let you in?
Did you run to Mémère?
Or did you simply end?
Oooooo oooooooo ooooooo
The tethers that hold me here have broken one by one.
And with your passing the heart of me is gone.
Did you find your faith? Did faith become sight?
Did the Word turned Man turn out to be
The Way the Truth the Life?
Oooooo oooooooo ooooooo
