Love Around the Bend

May we remember who we really are.

Love Around the Bend

The road we’re on is an illusion

We’re driven by a strong delusion

That earthly life is permanent

And human life is dominant

While we ignore the hourglass

And slip into our dreams en masse

The earth is circling round the sun

And we don’t know that we are one

We wonder at our destiny

Our place within eternity

One life seems but a second long

Another several seasons strong

A simple slip beyond the veil

And one would think a mission failed

But your last breath is someone’s first

The spinning song of death reversed

Now celebrate the time spent here

This enchanted place with ones so dear

And dream with me around the bend

Of heaven’s light and our good friends
