Come Aboard
Heed the call to board death's ship
A call which ends the human plight
To learn new roles a brand new script
will seem like dreams one final night.
Through seas of emotion so guiding the task
rhyme muses protect all with heavenly clad
Then death's ship sets sail landing at last
amid waiting friends who died in times past.
See grannies and grandpas greet mom and dad
Feeling of happiness is strong though so sad
in twilight dimension I'm joining their cast.
Heed now the spirits who chant a high mass
while creatures of nature in voices of brass
admire my banner, atop death's high mast.
