Ghostly Aura Photo Effect

Making the Passage

Eat, drink, and be merry.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

And at the appointed hour...

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Hope for the best.
Perhaps a wishing well.
All your dreams come true.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

But the truth is,
you have to make your own way.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Down a path,
walked by others a thousand times before.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Through the trees,
To the trees...

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Where roots run deep.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

'Old Country'
That's what it is.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Full of the dead.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

But the sights to behold.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Cathedrals...

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

In ruins.

But within lies the door,
the key,

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

The way.

To those waiting paitently on the other side...

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Sharon's barge.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

You might actually think you know where you're going,
recognize the place,

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Where we all are headed.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

But behind the next curve...

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

What do they say?

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Like water under a bridge.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Memory fades away.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

All that's left:
only wonder of what lies ahead.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

The endless,

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Possibilities...

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

After leaving the past,

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Forever behind.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

No need to wonder where the ruins arise.
Water drifting by,
marking time

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

Ghostly ships anchored forever,

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

In what might have been.

-- Making the Passage -- Ghostly Aura Image Effect

But in the new-found night,
a thousand futures are born,
like ashes from the past,
and souls made new.
