Look through the glass 

The other side , a thin membrane away

 I can see but not hear 

What if I break it to reach  out to the silent world beyond

Push  my hand through 

Will it be freedom

Or blood soaked shards that rain down

Shredding the flesh and mind

Scattering mortal remains 

On a cold floor

Perhaps I can hold your hand 

Together we can leap

With your protection 

That surrounds me with armour and shields

We can leap through fire to pastures beyond 

To cool water meadows

Lie in peace in lovers arms 

A snatched minute or a life of peace 

Leave behind the blackness 

Stare at the light 

Blinding in its purity 

Breathe in the mist that washes the shores

Sense the mountains of pine and larch

Gasp the crisp air of snowy peaks

Or drift in the warm suns arms of green

Face buried in the sweet hay of summer.
