Dream

Never been so scared
Never in my whole life
And never been prepared
I heard a whisper "Come..
Come to me my child"
I was petrified.
But I knew I had to go
To check what was going on.

I started to get closer...
"Don't be afraid my child,"
The figure spread its wings  It was an angel.
Pure of its kind.
A melancholic voice
That was asking for help.
Sitting on the bench and talking..
The angel took my hand..

So I agreed
Without any hesitation.
The angel showed which way to go
I was still in kind of frustration..

We walked through the forest
The angel illuminated the path.
I felt like an enchanted land was closer.
Everything was silent.
Somewhere at the crossways, A strange golden glow..
The closer we got,
The brighter it shone.

We saw a golden gate.
In diamonds it was covered.
A million lit candles were
Around it's shape
On each candle, a name was carved.

The angel found a candle. There was its name on it.
More it began to shine...
Where is my, I started looking for mine..

"No...only angels can cross 
This is the gate to heaven.
Only when the candle is burning...
It stops, then we have no entry."

I felt a void in my heart
And emptiness.
The angel kept walking on its path
For it the gate was an entrance.

I didn't want the angel to go Bitter tears started to roll The angel's candle went out...
Through my tears it looked at my soul

It took my face in its hands.
"You see my daughter...how it ends.
Every time you cry for me, your tears extinguish my flame.
And I cannot cross.. this gate."

"Daddy? Is that you?" I cried.
I fell on my knees and begged,
"Please!
Take me with you!"

The angel said calmly
"Not yet.
I will come back for you when it's your time.
One day we will again unite.
You, me and Mom.
But now, please don't cry,
Your mom is waiting there
So let me go and let us fly."
