Essence

When the
body
crumbles,
where
does the
essence 
go?
Does it
simply
dissipate,
disappear  
into the 
ether?
Ethereal 
in nature,
never to
return?
Does it 
move 
to a different 
realm,
existing 
in another
form?
Does it
derezz back
to the
program
whence 
it came?
Does it
go to
a place
beyond 
our scope,
unknowable 
to us?
Watch 
closely next
time and
see if 
you
can tell.
