I long for the fields of A’aru.
The sun-soaked reeds of gold
The ageless mirth of eternity,
Where there’s no young or old.
Where the hallowed sun forever shines,
Its light everlasting.
I run toward distant outstretched arms,
As my soul brightly sings,
And my whole being rejoices and cries:
“Where you go. I will come.
I am home. I am finally home,
In the arms of Atum”.

O’ Children of Light, take heed!
The darkness seeks to consume you,
With smiles of self-satisfaction it breeds,
And plants the seeds,
Of its own destruction.
O’ Children of Light, beware!
Bodies are made of heavy earth,
Which drags all men down and into despair;
So be aware,
You are not of the Earth!
O’ Children of Light, watch out!
You are light destined for the stars.
So, in darkness, do not stumble about.
You should not doubt,
Your divine radiance!
O’ Children of Light, Hear! Hear!
Those who pursue your destruction,
Act from carnal bewilderment and fear.
Lo’, Death’s not here!
Seek the Light! Seek the Light!
O’ Children of Light, stand strong!
When in darkness, shine brighter still.
The war between Light and darkness is long.
Shine strong! Shine strong!
For in time Light will win,…
Yes, in the end,…in the end,…
Light will win!

I oft’ dream of three stars united:
A pyramid-cluster,…far away,…
Sparkling and swirling light projected,
In aged-realms which sway,…
My soul to tears.
Such beauty,…it can not be explained,
With words of practical human minds.
The feeling of awe, deeply engrained,…
On the soul, which pines,…
To return home.
Yes, some things, they are not logical,
For we are made of both man and soul.
Man seeks to eat ’til listless and full.
Soul seeks to be whole,…
And connected.
Those galactic stars,…they speak to me,
In a language beyond form or view,
And my soul answers with silent glee.
I am bright and new!
For I am free!
I am free!
I am free!

I recognize my suffering now,
As never I have before.
I will never again allow,
My soul to close its’ door;
For I am a bright being of light,
Trapped in a world of black,
Where the brighter of a light,
The more the darkness will attack.
Yes, I am light living in darkness,
But the darkness has not prevailed!
My light has become less and less,
Though it is not yet veiled!
No, the darkness may have dimmed my light,
But it endures nonetheless.
My soul emerges new and bright,…
A sun: Radiant and boundless!
The dark, it can not hold me back,
Nor cease my eternal spark.
I light a way through the pitiless black,
For those who hear: Hark! Hark!
You are made of stars and light.
Mortal only in time and place.
Your end is not darkness and night,
Just as all stars out in space.
You will always exist and emerge,
Triumphant,…in brilliant display.
So forever let your light surge,
And to light and goodness pray.
For in the end light will always win,
And the darkness must retreat in hate;
As the universe, time, and planets spin,…
An eternity of light and love awaits.

That, which no one seeks,
Will never be found.
Who will seek for life,
With death all around?
For who will search for answers,
When ignorance is bliss?
Who will want the answers,
When death seals with a kiss?
That, which no one seeks,
Will never be found.
Who will claim the stars,
When they’re on the ground?
Who will ask the questions,
Which no one dares to ask?
And who will look for answers,
Beyond their human mask?
That, which no one seeks,
Will never be found.
Who will seek for light,
With gloom all around?
For life fades so quickly,
And time is not our friend.
It’s said: “Live…Thinking is sickly!”,…
“You don’t matter when you end”.
That which no one seeks,
Will never be found.
Too late,…the soul you seek,…
Is eternally unbound,…
…..Too late,….they can’t be found….
