Emily's Hymn

I'm a guest in Emily’s house
I hear a haunting hymn  
a door appears and opens wide  
large chamber with lights dim 
 
old organ plays a peaceful tune  
the hymn  Amazing Grace   
from open sky a flame descends
all candles burn in place
 
I watch as I begin to feel
thoughts flow and more are mine   
the flame ascends and leans the sun
then candles cold still shine  
 
now every time I hear the tune  
the organ played that day  
I know thoughts purified with song  
can live past mortal way
