Blithe spirits flow How many times to be rebuked By spirits low of jealous vindictiveness Just because i strive to be myself Unmasked of petty games Is this the way of earthly life? Why then my spirit defeated My heart bends low and i no longer care If life continues, i want to go And welcome freedom of earthly death When i had been brought To break of earthly despair This experience, the evenings first dim glow A presence felt, implied The only pressure, upon your head Is the atmosphere above I felt myself lifted to the universe i flowed Oh joys to come This is why i no longer wish to stay Upon this crusty earth, this stepping stone From worldly release i know my spirit will soar To join with my others Who know no gamesΒ Β And who are free.
Ugh. To my cousin, Mike Tompins, who died from suicide, Nov 8, 2012.
