To Change The Pattern, To Change The World. To Change How Death Is Seen
When we are close to death
When we begin to realize
How and why things were the way they were
When we are close to death
We see and hear with a sharper mind
The world comes in focus
When we are close to death we realize, we think
What is the point of war and hate...
One day you will die and time will move on
When we are close to death
We think about all the mistakes,
The times we fought and did not forgive
When we are close to death and the heart slows
We learn and appreciate the things we did not before
We forgive
When we are on the brink of death
We look over the edge
We let go
We change the pattern
Or so we think...
Because then you wake up and see it was all a dream
You were not dying
So, you go on about your life
Ignoring the warning of your dream
Then when your time comes
You look back in
And realize the pattern
Could have changed
Had you, listened to what
your dream, your premonition was telling you
When we are close to death
We think it was all a dream
