Silhouettes

In the darkness of my home
I saw
A silhouette move slow
It approached the window

I heard a body hit the floor

I ran towards the window

Couldn't believe what I saw

For a body was lying there

That body was my own

I saw a forest in the distance

Chariots of fire too

I saw my home in the distance

Somehow I floated through

The chariots came close

And my home grew far

I left behind me things

That'll remain as they are

Untouched by time

For I lived alone

Nobody cared who I was

Or where I came from

Like a ghost I appeared

One day I disappeared

People wondered who I was

A silhouette on the floor

In the streets my body laid

But I didn't feel afraid

As the chariots approached

Peace encompassed my soul

I floated away towards the forest

I went

For tonight was the last page

And where my story ends

But every ending

Is a start of it's own

I may be a silhouette

But I am my own
