This is the reality for everything that exists
Death is the reality which every creature resists
As ridculous as it is and as young as I am
My body can't stop death from coming like an ageless dam
So then I wonder...what if I had one more last breath?
Become a creature of flight and rise from the grasp of death
Then I looked up to the ocean blue skies wide eyed as I heard
That awesome screech coming out of the heavens,The King bird
I kept my eyes on my gliding answer, an Eagle a beautiful creature
I immediatly knew as I lost sight of the bird, this is my 2nd chance feature
Now, as I lay here in my hospital bed as loved ones mourn
I say last words to individuals my body so weak and worn
Now lay to take the last seconds of my alone time and gaze so far....
I patiently gaze at the ceiling, not at but through, gazing at my last star
My body finally was ready to hand me to judgement day
I closed my old eyes as every sickness took me away...
I felt the cold of death as I stumbled in the dark
I saw Death's face and before he made his oblivious mark
I opened my eyes to blinding light.. as I wished I was soaring over the earth
I felt the wet of the clouds as flew over the horizon.My 2nd chance,my rebirth
