Taking Only, Gems In My Hidden Store

Taking Only, Gems In My Hidden Store

Seven sunsets, this soul shall see no more
Blindness decries, sadder life once danced.
Into vapors, to walk that brighter shore
With greater sight, and new spirit enhanced.

Earthen vessels, shallow shells that expire
Willing spirits, eager to walk blinded.
Chosen mortals, chosen for their fire
Leave behind ink, so some are reminded.

Final sailing, one more week to explore
Sweeter dream-nights, once gifting deeper life.
Taking only, gems in my hidden store
Golden thoughts of you waiting there my wife. 

Seven sunsets, this soul shall see no more.
Into vapors, to walk that brighter shore.
