Here, eternity works a little different:
it’s forever for some, but not for all,
like those at the parapet,
standing watch for the rest.
Here, death is not quite the same either:
if you grasp the nature of the energy,
and your mind’s in the right place at the touch,
nine times out of ten, you’ll transcend.
A breath here, a swallow there,
a promise, a beacon, a cold-hard stare,
life’s the clarion call.
Get your riders up!
