The Answer

By Clark Call

Your life flashes before your eyes 

No pain in sight, only time 

All the while you hear whispers 

Softer than any touch or whisker 

It may be your loved ones that surround you

Or it's just me, speaking only to you

I say, “let's start at the beginning 

Your parents loved and made you 

They loved each other 

Just as we do 

We are a part of everything we do and see 

Between you and me 

You've been asleep for so long 

We are glad you stayed so strong 

You dreamed you created 

You dreamed you destroyed 

You dreamed we were happy 

You dreamed we were sad 

You dreamed we sometimes got mad 

But now it's time you came home 

Although you made a small one along the way 

While some left, while others stayed 

You continued sound asleep, unaware of the future 

But let's look at what you lived for 

Shining past you, into the twilight 

Far beyond the distant starlight 

Let's go somewhere beyond human comprehension 

A place called reality 

The universe, the aura, the alpha, the omega 

The spirit that bonds everything together 

Yet we seek it not 

But it loves us a lot 

You see, this is what everyone wants 

To touch this love 

This feeling, this comfort, this raw emotion 

Deeper than any ocean 

Very few believed to have found it in life 

Until they are dying, on their last breathe 

Did you? Did you find such a meaning? 

… I see 

That was the answer I was fearing 

But the day is nearing 

And you are no longer breathing 

But fear not, for you were loved 

No matter what, I will love you 

I am not a god, just reality 

The universe, the aura, the alpha and omega 

We all mess up 

And that's okay, just make sure you have a way 

A pathway higher, to me, in the distant universe 

In the twilight, far beyond the starlight 

Wake up
