The Big Sleep

quiet
my rest has been so quiet
past decades and centuries
reduced to a memory

steady
my body has left me
returned where i came to be
as earth took it back from me

like those who came before
or after me
fathers and sons alike
we're all asleep

down under
our titles don't matter
and I never lost faith in
we're destined to something

something that lasts and makes
everything new
to someone that knows my name
someone that's true

roar of a trumpet as
bedrock erupts
I know the voice I hear
that call me back
call me back

I am
rising up

you're brighter
than the sun
