Martha and Me


I stand and see
  a whole life beyond me
I stand and see,
  a rapid light across the sea.
I stand and see,
my whole own life
   draining out of me.
I stand, i fall
   into a  dark hole with no light
i now stand and see
   many angels singing to me.
i smile and praise,
I hope that my loves to 
stand and see
    once like me.
