sedation

Shining ones
The radiant ones
Both storm,
And
Ballast
Entwined in their being
The people of the dream
The inheritors of paradise
The ones who we never forget

Toward the light
And
The flesh is forgotten
The landscapes open over years
People move
People drift
People run
Those that brought with them
A light all their own
They will never be forgotten

With opens arms they took us
To where we needed to be
With gentle words
They comforted us
With strong arms
They held us
Right where we need to be for the moment

These souls
They will always remain
There touch is forever
Even if the names and faces are not
