RAYMOND SIGIMET

A courageous journey awaits us all
This lonely walk into that tunnelled lens
Where we leave behind our earthly call
and cross over beyond when breath expends

A journey made when our eyes get dark
Where spirit and soul will cross to meet
And time will remember and weigh its mark
while they gather silent below its feet

This lonesome walk into a far dim light
A much travelled path for the burdened soul
Where it will stand before the Judge's might
while the body sleeps in its earthly hole

This journey will cease with the trumpet sounds
when we all hope to wear our lustrous gowns
