Black Door

I lay so still on bed of dreams
The hours left so few
The frankincense and myrrh create
A damp and sullen hue

I lifted my head and I tried
To look at their faces
I suddenly thought of when I
Was in all these places

The life that I lived
And the image I reflected
Still remains within the eyes
Of those who are protected
And now I rest eternally
And that’s life’s mystеry’s only clue

A dim light shines
From the black door
Whеre I have just passed through

Within the boundaries of one life
The heavens were explored
And missionaries of new times
Their message of peace ignored

There’s not enough time in one life
To be fighting, yes, we know
It’s the lantern of truth
We should all be lighting

A dim light shines
From the black door
Where I have just passed through
