As most of the old ones knew
Are the seven stages of initiation here
Further and further into the other world
First unconsciously then quietly
We find our way back to remembering
Only in order to go on talking
About the wonders we have seen
But no longer believe in
The newly-dead follow us around at first
Listening carefully to our explanations
Until they decide to get on with their lives
Leaving their books and luggage behind
Now they know their purpose
Which they always take with them
