Goodbye my friend

Goodbye my friend
Until we meet again
We talked so much
of dreams that would
never end
We danced around
the tree of life
Often with joy
and strife

We watched mountains crumble
to the sea
We counted clouds drifting endlessly
We kissed among the flowers
Yours was the sweetest they could be

We cried many tears
and suffered many fears
We walked through darkness
for so many years

Now I hear the call of the angel
I see her gentle hand
She beckons me home
to make my final stand

I am going away to a place
I have never been
I wish you were with me
for I am shaking like a leaf
I never felt so much grief

I see shadows and images
faces and strange places
yet they seem somewhat familiar
but still they remain peculiar

If only you were with me my love
I wouldn't feel so cold and alone
The angel led me to a stone
carved upon it was a dove

Written upon the stone
were the names of everyone
I ever knew that I had to atone
All the pain all the strain
All the regrets and all things
I tried to forget

I had to let go so that love
could continue to flow
I had to forgive so that
I can once again live

Out of the ground came chains
of steel they were wrapping themselves
around the stone ever getting tighter
as if it was going to crush it
into pieces
I could hear the voices screaming of those listed
upon the stone praying in anguish as it tightens
then releases

They cried unto me to let them go and my
resentments to allow the flow of atonements
I set them free most urgently and prayerfully

Yet there is one which is you my love my guardian
angel in whom has been my friend to the end
How shall I look upon you knowing my ways?
Will I be able to let you go for the rest of my days?
