Borderlands
It is a beauteous sight
Watching as your soul
Oh-so-slowly detaches itself
From a diminishing body
To swim heavenwards
To swim home
Oh mother – for a day
Won’t you take me with you
To a realm free from mourning
That – for a moment
I may hold you in the sun’s warmth
In the presence of Great Glory
May we, your loves
Take you to the borderlands
And hand your hand
Into the hand of God
