Hello, Mr. Reaper!

Are you here for me?

I’m all ready to go- I do decree!

Packed all I need

For this dismal trip

Wherever we may end

On this inter-dimensional starship

I’ll gladly amend,

All the wrongs I’ve done

And all the good ones too!

So long as I can come along

And be at peace in the airy song

Of wind whipped to and fro

As we fly off this planet

to somewhere new

And maybe not as blue

As this old world has made me

I hope to hurriedly cut-through

All the unnecessary good-bye’s

To save a few woe’s of those

Who never quite knew

Where my head was at

or where it might be off to

Tell me, Mr. Reaper

What is it like?

The after of this life

Is it as everyone says?

Wondrous and gold

With all your lost loved ones to hold?

Will I now know

Why everything was just so-so,

And what it was all about?

All my questions answered

With no reasonable doubt

Of what anyone’s intentions are

Or who they may really be

On the inside- the door is ajar

And I can finally see

The light in all those souls

That struggled just like me

I can almost feel the bright shine

of the sun as we fly near

That powerful sphere

Whom I can hear-

The king of our Milky Way

The sound of which

A thousand burning flames

Seems musical at times

May we, together, sway?

As we continue to ascend

I want to touch the stars

To feel their tingling glow

On my finger tips and throw

Them winding through Saturns’s rings

Like a cosmic game of ball

Why must we all

Pass away just to experience

Such extraordinary things?

Though I may miss my place

And the people that I admire

I can not stand to wait

One more moment on this plane

Feeling so incredibly inadequate

So I do request

To simply retire

And continue our journey on

To arrive in the beyond

Shall we go now?

Lest, we are late

and miss the opening of the gate
