On my silent wings of night
I come to get you
to visit with you
to take you home
You sleep so soundly
with the essence of your being
exploring in the other dimensions
questing always questioning
Your body is curled around the pillow
as you hold on to lost loves and
dream through the oceans of time
wishing only to understand your purpose
You turn to face me as I swoop down
to take you with me
we shall journey to the far reaches of
your memories tonight
You reach out and take hold of my wing
for I will carry you
as I always have
off to the lands of understanding
Many life times we have traveled together
I take you, for you trust me completely
as you reach out to me
you hold on and let go of time
Out into the night we fly
through the windows of time we pass
up to the tops of the trees
and on to the stars
For we are the constellation walkers
the messengers of time and light
to those who wish to listen they shall heal and remember
for there is much to hear from our silent flight
You take one last look back to the earth
for you understand that we must return
to help and heal and listen
as we are the memories of humankind
