The dancer returns in visions,
To soothe a broken heart,
And brings love developed in ominous dreams,
In absents the dancer has grown and developed.
The dancer welcomes the dream in,
The dancer, oh how beautiful she dances,
It is her beauty of youth,
But with the master of all kingdoms,
For now she has attained the world,
She has attained her universal self.
She dances through mansions,
Magificent pillars, spacious marble rooms of splendor,
She dances through them so beautifully.
She reaches the grand end room,
An orchestra is playing,
Male dancers join her all in white,
They circle around her.
She is dancing solo.
2nd movement.
Her white gown is glowing like a fluorescent light,
Amidst a beautiful dark forest,
A warm, friendly forest of romance.
Amidst the forest she meets the man of her dreams,
He has a white horse,
He dances with her love,
After much chasing,
Delicately through trees together,
They reach a garden of light,
On a bridge together,
The lilies shine their reflected beauty
Upon the water,
The flower beds by the stone path are blooming radiantly,
And her face, the radiant blossom,
She dances more beautifully than ever,
As she caresses his body.
Finally her love comes to understand her dream,
the dancer who wanted to dance,
And love who wanted to love,
And beauty to forever blossom
Before her eyes with love.
How wonderful, he joins her there,
And shares her dream as her partner,
A dream come true.

Beyond mountain tops I did reach,
To a new world I did greet,
No fairer plains did I ever meet,
To challenge my wits as a passing fleet,
Oh what treasures you now reveal,
Such spendor alone secrets seal,
No man can utter what we feel,
Hearts true glory and soul that's real.
We freeze, yet move beyond the speed of light,
To experience alone gifts of sight.
Seering forever higher above the clouds,
Gone the illusions out of the shrouds,
With the truth one's expereinces alone,
And here the spiral from a timeless zone,
We end the story to the unknown,
Knowing it's faith that brings you home,
To immortality's fountain.

Being in our time with life which remains,
Sudden death we greet inside our fragile frames,
New seeds of life are death to higher planes,
Nobody wished before to have explained,
To counteract our existence with death,
This material corpse, our body frames,
Comes this magic 'life' which it contains,
In the cosmic state without the desire,
To acknowledge universal loving,
with life and death, new seeds grow to show,
And all that's required of our minds to know,
Death is the step in our many lives in breath,
In one body we meet there many times,
And life goes on and out once like a star.

A clear pure way,
Your soul now tread,
A guiding star your heart has wed,
Your find another in Gods state,
Have 'faith' along the road that waits,
Heaven opens to you her gates,
Where 'hope' and 'faith' meet now your fate,
This is a new life for your sake,
To you God gives for man to take.
