I meditate, but no matter how hard I try Messages from Spirit keep passing me by Spirit Guides are probably speaking loud and clear But their words are falling on my deaf ear There is a song from “A Chorus Line” called “Nothing” Miranda is supposed to “feel”, but she feels nothing I would love to hear words of wisdom in my ear Or see a big Indian Guide standing near I would love to see a slide show before my eyes With images, scenes, words, or gals and guys It would thrill me to see a spirit standing behind someone Whom I could describe to that person as a dad or a mom I long to say to someone, “May I come to you?” And actually be able to tell them a thing or two I would like to be able to prove the continuity of life Proof that after our bodies are gone, our souls survive I would like to give comfort to mourners from their grief By assuring them that their loved ones have found relief From the difficulties suffered during their earthly life And they no longer suffer any pain, limitations, or strife As a butterfly from its caterpillar cocoon breaks free To become everything that the butterfly can be So the soul sheds a body that is weighing it down The silver cord is cut and the soul is homeward bound
