Death Dearest Poem by Shane Markie

Death Dearest

Take not my soul, but my body instead
That it may be given another life
And a chance to be born anew

If there be a heaven waiting for me
Let them take the part of me
That most needs a new home

And if there be a hell below
Let them clamber up to meet
Their one piece of the physical world

But if instead we reincarnate
Let my skin become the night sky
And my blood become the ocean

Don't chain my soul to continue on
Let in wonder free from all constraints
And I'll float among the stars
