If I should fly away (inspired by Half Dome)

If I should fly away
I want no tears from you
Jesus could not stay
What would you have me do?
That’s why each day I pray
So my heart remains true
I will never betray
The love I feel for you
But I thought you knew

If I should fly away
I’ll still be right here
To make sure you’re ok
So please don’t shed a tear
Jesus once did say
Just pray and Ill appear
Through his light I’ll stay
To me it’s all so clear
Believe and I’ll be near

If I should fly away
It means that it’s my time
Id love to stay and play
But now its time to shine
Don’t lead the flock astray
Just follow your divine
And in the misty haze
My light your surely find
My voice inside your mind

these sentiments are genuine. I do not know when I will pass over to the next phase, but I tasted that impermanence of this physical body when I reached the top of Half Dome, and it made me think, my time is coming. If anything should happen to me please release this poem to my family and friends, I wrote it for all of you out of the bottom of my heart, no matter what happens we will always be together, sooner or later.

ohh by the way, I dont want to die! hehe, dont be scared now, it was just a realization that I had at the top of the Dome. I really did see my own death, or what I perceived as being my own death, and it scared the fuck out of me, but I am glad for this, I wasnt sad, just aware, I think the only aspect that scared me was thinking that my friends and family wouldnt understand, so I wrote this poem. Hehe. Now do you understand? hehe

Yeah there's been a couple Yosemite trips now where I saw my own death. Each time has helped to give me perspective and gain further understanding of myself. I also feel I've become more comfortable about my own mortality as a result. I guess it's just a very spiritual place if you're open to it. I'm glad me and Syd got married there. =)
