LIFE AGAIN


      I died last night
      Not like the pain of birth
      I rise above my body
      As I have many times before
      Only this time never to return

      All around me
      Confusion as I
      Wonder what to do
      Then a warmth engulfs me
      I feel a touch

      I follow knowing love
      Is with me now
      I feel as though
      Being carried across a threshold
      Into understanding

      I see ancient friends
      All family at some time
      But then time is meaningless
      They are close but space is infinite
      Light all around

      We know
      There are more lessons to learn
      That we must return
      It's hard to leave this behind
      I know love again pure and clear

      I was born last night
