Light in the dark
Songs through silence
Death interrupts life
Color penetrates black and white.
Growth shines out
Stronger and stronger
A fire of burning hope.
Shining stars from up above
Guiding lost souls to the gate
Where feathered halos glow
Rings of opal, shining copper
Passing down and down again.
"Topaz angel,
Spread you wings and fly",
He breathed one last time
Reaching for someone
Not yet there.
