THE JOURNEY

The darkness creeps in,
Surrounding him at last.
No band will play.
A new journey has begun.

Tears flow beneath him.
His body lies still.
Mourn him not,
For now he flies free.

Wings lift him higher
Dreams of long ago
Power has touched him
Pulling at his soul.

The chains have left him.
Mortal ties break away.
Soaring higher and higher,
He waits for him.

His glory fully realized
The legacy begun
No pain to shackle him,
His father has come.
