(Dedicated to the memory of phyllis macy 1919 - 2005)
freedom
this corporal holding cell can't keep me anymore
freedom
lose these terrestrial bonds and let this spirit soar
these old bones are so frail and weak
these old lips have just a few words left to speak
these old eyes are so tired from what they've seen
this old heart is still brave
this old soul is still safe
freedom
i'm ready for this
i know i'll be missed
this body is done
i'm primed for a new one
shed your tears
but please don't pity me
there's no fear when you're tasting immortality
life is a puff of smoke
one fleeting moment and its gone
