We wore the grey together long ago,

Just children, with the sun upon our face,

Who walked the silence of the hallowed halls

And touched the echo of a future grace.

*

We wore the blue together you and I,

Our feet upon the shores of vanished lands,

Where seeds were planted firmly in our hearts,

A tiny spark amid the shifting sands.

*

We wore the red together for a time,

Our bodies altars to a greater Love,

Drawing healing from the inmost Earth

Igniting it with Fire from Above.

*

We wore the white together life on life,

And searched the halls of knowledge on our quest,

And learned a little wisdom on the way,

Enough to feed the star-seed in our breast.

*

We wear the black together for a while,

Lives touching, intertwining, once again.

A rainbow bridge between us spans the Earth

Sharing, still, our laughter and our pain.

*

We’ll join the Light together at the end,

Our rainbow journey done, our work achieved.

When, incandescing, in a final blaze,

We’ll be consumed by what we have believed.
