Hidden behind an opiate wall
Floating on a shimmering cloud
You watch us through the veil
Somewhere down the crazy river, said Robbie
Eyes wide open
Not interested in death sneaking up
Do you see us? We are here.
Hello in there, said John
The liquid fidelity of a perfect note
Washed ecstasy across your face
Pushing fresh tears to our eyes
Come away with me, said Norah
All your traces are here, smudged together
Patterns dance on your fingertips
Let’s sing a song together
Do do, do do dah dah, said Jim
Your essence crystallized to eyes, ears, hands
A beating heart
One breath, and another, and
I just had to let it go, said John
The passage awaits
It shines with the love of familiar faces
Let go and dance
Across the universe, said George
Prepare a place for us
Get that sister in tune
We’ll be along shortly to find you
Home at last, said Donald
