Verses for accompanying the dead

Verse 1
Faithfully
I will follow your soul
Through the gate of the death
Into the light-engendering
Time places
With love I will ease spirit coldness for you
With knowing I will untangle spirit light for you
With thinking I will linger with you.

(source: Wijnberg, Nicholas and Philip Martyn — Crossing the Threshold)

Verse 2
No boundaries separate
where spirit links sustain
light-brilliant,
love-radiant
eternal soul bonds.

So I am in your thoughts,
so you in mine.
I was united with you;
renain united within me.

We will converse
in the speech of eternal being.
We will be active
where deeds take effect,
we will weave in spirit
where human thoughts are woven
in the word of eternal thoughts.

(source: Wijnberg, Nicholas and Philip Martyn — Crossing the Threshold)
