When I dream of Death

My limbs are branches that reach endlessly wide
my feet touch the earth then break into stride
veins of the earth crawl up my legs, up to my knees
Swallowing me as if dropped in the seas

I am a human of incredible force
I chose my path
I made the course
The earth touches me and I listen up clear
I search through myself
I try to hear

When my body heats up, up to the sky
the sun catches my heat
and allows me to fly
I see the universe as I believe it to be
I see my face, unbelievably free

My life is a book and I've reached the last page
I float through confusion, I've escaped this cage
My hands skim the sky, my heart bleeds the earth
full of life, death and the possibility of rebirth

My lashes, a blanket of beauty and sin
All that I am, will be, and ever have been
A cloud of remembrance settles in my gaze
a slow rhythmic dance till the end of all days
The music is changing, never the same
just like me, my soul, and my expired brain.
