The Journey
Imagine walking a straight earthen forest path
the Silence is deep, beautiful and complete
the senses overwhelmed , The sun cuts thru the canopy of deep green
vegetation ,dripping moisture and life
At Peace with no strife strolling along this wooded path
Up ahead a misty veil obscures the view
cooling ,refreshing ,soothing as one passes thru
Long forgotten memories begin to drift by,
images of childhood come alive
Stop and live your experiences, relive your life
At the end the present is clear, from oldest to new, it sweeps by
The memories complete , another veil comes slowly to you
A curtain separating worlds dividing you
Here the beast within stalks the consciousness of the mind
Released upon command , lurking just below the surface of modern man
the strength and savagery of the wild and untamed
Beware the savage beast as u leave him behind
To cross the next veil of vapor and health
Feel your perfect physical self
Strong , in tune, healed, able to mend
recover from fatigue , your body at its best
feel its perfection , test its strength
Another step another world
This long straight earthen pathway leads to life
Up ahead a pure white light , enter and be healed from sickness , disease and strife
Further on the tunnel of pure white light ,
the stairs leading up to your final night
guarded to make sure your decision is right
off to your right leading down another set
if u like to go further out take the first step leading down
