Dume

by Chris Vine - Gemini

DUME

Lay me down to sleep in a darkened room
My mind floats here 
There
Always to Dume

This staircase leads me
To a blinding light
The throb
The stabbing
The ache of my head
Obscures my sight

This thick mist clears
As time stands still
Takes me away 
To an uncertian chill
Shadows turn
To the shape of dead friends
I've never met them
But they show me the end

I crawl
I crawl
and crawl
and crawl
To the figure of a women
Covered by a crocheted shawl
She tells me
Nothing is sacred untill we die
My mind tells me I know her
As she gently sighs

Further on 
Further down
I meet the kind I've known
Their problems took them over
They slowly drowned

At the end of the tunnel
I can see my inner shine
An I look back to life
To my hallowed shrine
Memories flash past
Like cars in the night
Time stands still
Calm takes over from fright
I enter this place
I'll be happy forever
A place
I know
We can be together.
