301. Them

I stood still in the darkened room
And felt the presence of others
There is no way to explain my emotions
For I was in the company of my brothers
I saw them clearly in my mind’s eye
Their goodness painted in a moving light
I knew then that science had no answers
For things that go bump in the night
Of ghosts or angels I care not what
I just know what I believe
They or she or it had come
No greater gift could I receive
I cannot explain what God has intended
Nor if the Church knows what to do
Call me crazy but their existence is real
I only wish you could see them too
Unlike some I fear not for my death
For I know that something truly does follow
Maybe one day I’ll know why they’re here
But if I’m lucky I’ll just see them tomorrow
