Pull the curtains , dim the light
I will give you second sight
As you lie upon the bed
Empty thoughts out of your head.
Close your eyes as if to dream
Follow then the silver beam
To a staircase bathed in light
Where you walk with me tonight.
See a door and find the key
Be amazed at what you see
All your loved ones waiting there
Lots of memories to share.
Let the time just pass on by
Yours is not to question why,
I have brought you to this place
Answer's written on your face.
Touch the ones you know so well
As you fall beneath the spell
Of the life that follows on
After you and I are gone.
Pull the curtains, dim the light
They will be with you tonight
Slumber now without a sound
You will walk on hallowed ground.

This poem is very happy and full of wisdom. Although it is not my cup of tea, the rhyme scheme is overplayed, and I am more of a punctial poet, I did enjoy the peace enough to say that for the mood, it flowed well and deserves recognition.

Enlightenment lies behind a veiled curtain for each and every one of us and we will find the draw strings of the cosmos in our own appointed time.
Our dreams give us a fractured glimpse of what awaits us after our life lessonss have been learned. A most enjoyale read with your message well crafted within excelent rhyme and meter
-
We all desire enlightenment,
We all wisht to sleep.
Here I find emotion,
And meaning so deep.

Nicely told
Good rhyme and metre. You express the hope of immortality well. Good work.
