the other side



many nights I have these dreams,
some dark,
some light.
I still wandering in dry terran,
the devil thinks he is my guide.
but on the other side,
I look towards, I search for it,
on the other side.
I hope for a cool shaded refuge.
my mind is being renewed,
as I walk through to the other side.
there is richness,
there is intimatsy
and there is a sweet life,
on the other side.
there are dreams fulfilled,
love is not lost.
