CANOPIES BED

There is a place where people wander
Through the forest over yonder
A land of beauty far and wide
Where hearts roam free with love inside
And guardians of the gates there stand
Amidst this green and pleasant land
Forest kings and their fair Queens
A shady nook, the trees of dreams

On entering this kingdom fair
Memories like jewels there
You speak their name, your time has come
A new world beckons here for some
No need for tears nor apprehension
Sadness, lies no longer mentioned
A passing from one world, another
A simple journey, like no other

The forest Kings stand tall and proud
As shadows dance and prance all round
Raise up a hand and then a finger
Within the textured bark it lingers
You speak your name and write what comes
To mind and heart, and then the fun
The shadows whisper in your ears
It's time to smile, be gone those tears

Though life had ceased on Little Earth
No more the laughter, gone the mirth
The mark you left, the love you gave
Allowed the trees, your soul to save
A second chance, Utopia
Lies just beyond the boundary here
It's yours to grasp and yours with grace
Embrace the changes, gone the race

The forest kings they welcome you
Those words upon their bark, your cue
So write with gusto, carve with pride
The feelings held so deep inside
Initials welcomed, 'I was here',
A cherished loved one's name held dear
A special date, a lyric, song
The key unique cannot be wrong

Life once more begins right here
The pain of death removed, and fear
You're entering the spirit zone
Raise a glass, you're not alone
A land of beauty far and wide
You'll feel the warmth of love inside
And though you long for life again
You're free to roam, no longer pain

The forest kings they smile and wave
As through the gate your spirit sways
A heart so honest, faithful, pure
The afterlife and all is yours
Within this world your loved ones watch
From high above they'll feel your touch
Your presence lifting those on Earth
A second chance for all you're worth
