It all happened in a sudden flash,
Meeting of sound and feeling in a smash,
Then there was darkness and oblivion,
For how long is beyond my comprehension,
When I regained my sight,
I witnessed the purest light,
And a calm my memory couldn't recall,
I had not a fear at all,
I could see and feel these entities,
Somewhere inside they were familiar to me,
Melodically saying I was free,
From earthly struggle to dwell in peace eternally,
Bewildered in awe, could this be real,
Amidst this bliss why did I strangely feel,
Something was not right with this,
From the fulfillment of my dreams something amiss,
The beings around me could sense my quandary,
And asked why was I not completely happy,
With a wave of what I would consider an arm,
They showed the world below in all of its charm,
The hustle and bustle, rat race pace,
People avoiding one looking one another in the face,
Politicians and business men's greed,
War and poverty, children suffering,
As the image spun before my eyes,
As I gazed on portions of my energy began to rise,
I saw the one still dwelling down there,
I reached for them to only grasp thin air,
The one thing for which I always longed,
The one heart for which I would always feel so strong,
If it was possible for tears to run down my face,
It happened then, separated by time and space,
Only one thing kept me alive day to day,
Only one thing let me know I could be answered when I pray,
Only one thing will make me truly happy,
Only one thing makes my heaven complete,
Yes I know the source of it all, of love dwells here,
But it still isn't all if you aren't near,
Only one thing that's not a sure thing will make this right,
Only one thing I want and need, to hold you tight
I asked myself, would I give it up,
Drink once again from the world's cup,
Take the good and the bad,
The happy and sad,
On the one thing that might not be for sure,
I ran, oh lord help me, I ran out of heaven's door,
For one thing, for you
