Moment of Release

July 15, 2011

In the signal moment of a soul's release

When it floats above the body it has borne

And looks upon an earth well-known and loved,

A frame that time has ebbed away and worn,

Blesses those who cherished through the years

The love it gave and more than love returned,

Departing now to realms of rest and bliss

To see again the spheres from which it turned

To feel again the thrill of rapture's kiss,

Descended here in a dense human mould

Our sorrow's tears should cease and pain be brief

The tale of birth and death a story told

By those who now no longer suffer grief

United with the splendour at its source,

Vibrant, filled with consciousness and force.
