STEP BY STEP:

Walk me away from all of life´s cruel ways,

Step by step, down the highways & byways,

Past loud jeering crowds & cruel jarring words,

To the end of all time where life begins anew.

Please step me a dance, waltzing slow & gently,

To where the swans glide & gazelles softly graze,

Beneath trees robed in dresses of emerald & jade,

To winter´s old boughs, kissed with icicles of death.

Tip-toe me silently past the dead & all who are sleeping,

To where dreams appear to babes in benevolent sighs,

And all is possible to those who live & still breathe deep,

Upon the leaden lidded pillows of deep dreamless slumber.

Swim me on the waves, on ripples & the small icy droplets,

Over wild blue oceans, dreamy rivers & the seedlings of rain,

Deep into caves of ancestors & the dark silence of the deaf,

To where ancient life is deeply hidden, lost & is never found.

Fly me up & away, high on the feathered wings of the plumed,

Above far away mountain peaks, below old woolen grey clouds,

Up & dancing around, with the swirling of Dervish´s dizzy thermals,

Step me faraway, so that I may know & touch the cheek of God.
