Kaleidoscope Kingdom
Wondering through the wilderness
I paused to take a rest
Laying my head upon
My knit knapsack
I fell asleep and dreamt
A celebration of my death
Kindred friends were crying
To the rhythm of Kyrie chanting
Till the bell’s somber knell
Called them from the chapel
Then my ghostly surreal vision
Turned upwards towards the heavens
Through the keyhole of the golden gates
I saw what after death awaits
A kaleidoscope kingdom
Beautiful beyond reason
When suddenly I was awaken
And any doubts of God were taken
For I had discovered in my dream
The knowledge of what will be
In a prismatic paradise of eternity
That awaits both you and me
I paused to take a rest
Laying my head upon
My knit knapsack
I fell asleep and dreamt
A celebration of my death
Kindred friends were crying
To the rhythm of Kyrie chanting
Till the bell’s somber knell
Called them from the chapel
Then my ghostly surreal vision
Turned upwards towards the heavens
Through the keyhole of the golden gates
I saw what after death awaits
A kaleidoscope kingdom
Beautiful beyond reason
When suddenly I was awaken
And any doubts of God were taken
For I had discovered in my dream
The knowledge of what will be
In a prismatic paradise of eternity
That awaits both you and me

Wow, what a wonderful piece. A version of paradise regardless of creed is always an interesting topic. Death is inevitable, but there is something bigger on the other side.
