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 games
And who are free.

Ugh. To my cousin, Mike Tompins, who died from suicide, Nov 8, 2012.
