let this single voice be lost
among the broken places of me
that have worn me to my knees
may by grace i simply be
here please listen
to the stillness with me
this utter peace is born
here where thought is lain
gently for an instant to rest
come be with me where love’s flame
incinerates our masks and opens our hearts
this gate once open can never be shut
this timeless promise will never be broken
only declared again and again
by those willing to fall within
come be with us beyond your fear
come be seen as you truly are
we will join to celebrate your life and
the sacred within you will rush to greet us
come embrace your limitless possibilities
and release your tortured labored breath
yes you will die but only seemingly
and you will know once the walls
have crumbled sufficiently
that your heart can open
on a shimmering doorway to infinity
come be with us in this sacred place

We will be where you are by and by brother. Our goals are parallel.
