I wrote this at the beginning of '01. It was right after my mother was hospitalized. I remember as she was struggling to breathe, she muttered out," call the kids, I'm about to go" My heart sank as i heard that and i ran out of the room. She was okay, and came home within the week. Sadly she passed on ten months after this was written. So i wanted to share this with the world. Im currently in the process of turning this into a shorter song and hopefully can share that as well

I close my eyes, embracing the light before me
her heartbeat drumming a soft melody
Slowly I drift into her heavenly grace
Never wanting to leave this place

Such darkness here, yet in a room full of light
as life and death commence their fight
A battle had been raged, yet the room lay silent and still
Hunger in their eyes, hands thirsty to kill

The silence was broken, by an enormous roar
My lady Death had been slain once more
Joy rose from my heart, it laughed and cried
As I stared directly into Deaths eyes

Begone my love, our union cannot be
Leave me and my family
I have all but one life, a mere pebble in the sea
Where as you shall have my soul for all eternity

Return home, past Elysia, Tartarus, the Crying Sea
And wait, just wait for me patiently
Death closed her eyes, smile and was gone
For she knew our time would eventually come

Tears now fall, crying in fear
"Be strong" whispered my strength into my ear
Your light will fade, if it has no reason to glow
Do not allow it to relinquish, allow its energy to flow

My strength, my love, protecting me from Death's wrath
Gently holding my hand, guiding me into the right path
With one deep breath, my fear fell into a pile
As I opened my eyes, greeted by my lights smile
