EIGHT

Through I’ve wanders near and far

I’m not sure of where you are

The gate is open

The doorways wide

Now there’s no place left to hide

Take my hand and follow me

I am thy guidance calling thee

In the smart and cunning things,

By your art you do see me

I heard your call

I hear your cry

Keep persevering until I die

When on the cold earth I shall lie

To come again once more to you

My life on Earth to be reviewed

The mind is quick,

It does deceive

On false errands it will leave

Tame the horses of your mind

Or they rush on with you behind

To guide the way

You must pay

The guardians fee,

Allowing thee

To seek for me

Hell below and heaven above

I walk between in perfect love

In thee my Goddess I do trust

The covering cloak of darkness hides

Allowing you passage, away from sides

The path you walk is yours alone

For, down it, far, you have gone,

Turn back for none,

Watch for the light

To guide you once more to my sight

Surrounded by black velvet night

The tightrope hangs across the abyss

Do not slip

Do not miss

Madness and death walk close at hand

They are the powers on this land

Your juggling art, your daring ways

Guide you across to where it lays

The sign to follow

The sign to guide

To Golden light that shines before

Guiding you to your next door

I’ll lead you truly, never fear

The adventures the fun,

And that’s always here,

My love does guide

My love does protect

Those in trouble born to hide

To know, to will, to dare

To be silent, do you care?

These are my guides do not ignore

To reach far, for my hand

You must trust these guides on land

Your mind is quick to run amok

The dispersion comes and runs away

Ruins your chance for another day

But you are smart,

And you are quick,

Turn it back upon itself

Seeking only light and life

Love and liberty

You will come a little to live in my heart

Then you shall know your vital part

The part you play upon this stage,

As one by one you turn the page,

Of lifes adventures

Walker in light

Walker in darkness

Can you see where you are going?

Is the darkness too deep?

Is the light too bright?

Walk my bridge by feel of love

It will lead you to above

The path goes on

It never falters, never changes.

It is only our doubts and fears

Rising, as now, the end it nears

Leading me on, ever on

Take my hands and lead me

To the garden of delight

Where thee and me

Together, we are none

In love we bond,

In love we part

With our pure love within our hearts
