Returning

By Stranger

The sun is a falling star
I make a wish upon the death of the world

The sky cracks open wide
revealing heaven to me

I can hear angels singing

Their song grows loud
as the end approaches
shattering my existence

Hot, white light
fills the emptiness
that once was my life

I let go
their voices leading me home

I am whole
I am pure
