The Great Unknown

A little scary, I would say,

That great ethereal unknown

Waiting, watching, unforgiving

On the shores of Brigadoon.

 

Never mind that life is brief

And time accelerates with age.

Loved ones leave to their reward

Always too soon. Much too soon.

 

And we are left to wait and wonder

When our number might be chose and

What may lie beyond horizons

Once mortality has flown.

 

Shall the soul ascend to find

The joys of everlasting peace

To reunite with loved-ones past,

To sit beside the highest throne?

 

Faith alone can move the stone,

Can shine a light where none has shone,

Assure us we are not alone

And guide us through the great unknown.
