As I lay
By Sharon Maria Moemise
The signs of time edged on my face
the rivers of sorrow leaving my being
As I lay in state, awaiting oblivion
the stars above to erase my suffering
Prayers ringing for my soul to rest
Tears dripping, memories flowing
A black cloud turning to white light,
beckoning, whispering my name
I\'m ready. I relent and loose the fight
Silence... No, it\'s Angel\'s song
I float like a dry leave on a cloud,
arms stretched, awaiting acceptance
I\'m on my final journey to deliverance
A tribute to one who fought and lost
My heart is still, my soul set free
As I lay in Glory, I hear you cry
I leave you with a love that will never die.
