The Message

Now that I am dead

 I am alive

no body traps me

I do not strive

Now that I am dead

I am set free

no carbon prison

contains me

Now that I am dead

I do not care

if that shell of mine

is dust or air

Now that I am dead

I always soar

and I'll fly free

for evermore

Now that I am dead,

though you may mourn,

you remain harnessed

but I am reborn!
