Far Away

I was hiking and didn’t realize

I was walking amongst a sea of eyes

My intention to keep myself grounded

Was contrary to what Spirit wanted

Little by little I became aware

That there were souls around me everywhere

I had no walls, that was perfectly clear

And all of my thoughts, I know they could hear

I saw him start to materialize

His familiar image before my eyes

He’s walking toward me as our lights embrace

All time between our worlds just melts away

We’ve ventured throughout many lives before

Both of us guiding souls through Spirit’s door

His world is in another universe

Like the one we worked together in first

He said, “Please come on a journey with me

There’s someplace beautiful for you to see”

I closed my eyes and surrendered my trust

And straight away felt myself lifting up

Up through space, leaving the planet of blue

No measure of time or space we went through

We arrived in a place, there are no words

To describe the majesty of this world

Colors beyond what my world’s ever seen

With creatures and plants peculiar to me

He lingered there while I took it all in

For bringing me here, I’m grateful to him

He chuckled, “Well, this isn’t a free ride

After all, we are both Spirit’s gate guides

Two souls here are ready to transition

We’re the chosen guides to usher them in”

We went to the place, two souls hand in hand

I turned to my pal, “I don’t understand

They appear happy and healthy to me

No incident forthcoming, that I see”

He smiled at the narrowness of my view

“Your earth world has certainly messed with you

In a world where there’s peace and harmony

Souls decide when they are ready to leave”

I felt so much I needed to relearn

But memory was starting to return

When souls are resting from lifetimes in school,

They can spend time in these worlds, if they choose

What my mortal mind was struggling to see

Why any soul would leave this world of peace

Then images were playing in my mind

Souls returning to work, leave this behind

He looked at me, took my hand, “Well, shall we?

I believe these two souls are now ready”

I nodded, then marveled at what took place

Their bodies on the ground, lying in wait

There’s no fear, just absolute surrender

As my pal guided him, I guided her

When their souls had fully merged with our light

I was caught off-guard at this awesome sight

I know these souls!  The four of us are tight

I hug them, this surprise is out of sight!

Spirit gives permission for us to stay

To fill our souls in this celestial place

Since I’m the one who lives on planet Earth,

The toughest school in any universe,

They offer comfort, riding back with me

As I return to that reality

I feel myself choke up, begin to cry

Embracing their lights as we say good-bye

Back in my world, beginning a new day

Walking, I feel my friends aren’t far away
