In the glade of loss
You will find me quietly sleeping
By a silent stream that runs
Carrying my weary soul
Deep into the land of shades
And though in my dreams
My soul may fly
There will also be at times
Dark shadows that slowly start to eclipse
The wings of flight
No longer capable of being airborne
Please bear with me
While I travel so very deeply into this place
Even though I know what feelings of helplessness it brings
For I am just floating in the bardo now
Where things are loosening
Deep inside a process
That is impossible to explain with words
So just sit by me quietly if you can
Even as I struggle to breathe the air
And hold my hand
For even if I do not respond
Deep in my soul I will then know
That a silent part of you
Deeply cares and understands.
