the time has come to go...

my time in the shadow
has ended
it was quite a stay
and i had my fill
so now my friend
i am leaving
and going on to
the open light
where beauty is the
way and truth
the song

i have no regrets
and will not look back
at what was left behind
i am ready and will
be well
very well indeed

i cannot come back
to the lost land of
the sounds and sights
that haunt and
follow relentless
in their wake
for dear i now
have come to the place
where turning back
would not sit well
in the soul

a time will come

to you as well
when you must
take your leave
for you are very
much of heart
and want the same
thing too...

and when you do
arrive my friend
i will be there to say
that i have waited for
you long
and am so happy to
see this day
that you are now out
of suffering and
in eternity's gaze
for now
there is no more
searching
and all is simply play....

in the garden of leela....
