The shadows crept around me,
As the lights were growing dim.
The door creaked ever so slowly.
Suddenly, this air seemed so thin.
Then tenderly, mist rolled over night
As the black had, over day.
This world, so fresh and in my hand,
As though in a dream, I say;
"I see the clouds above my fore,
I see the daylight kiss the brow,
I feel all sense of being leave,
As if all the past were living now."
Another finger touched my soul,
The owner's heart lay beating there.
The one, whom I had never known
Had reached me, for to take a share.
In that short moment I'd discovered
A truthfulness to all mankind,
For once I'd known that 'something else',
For those few moments I'd died.
