Ever Patiently Awaiting Your Arrival But Not Before Time

My parachute rises

My feet don't touch the ground

Leave no footprint on the moon

And i float in and on water

Leave no reflection in a mirror

And no one ever sees me

Nor invites me out or round for dinner

I once upon a time used to walk
amongst you and chew my food

Until that fateful day i crossed 
over 

And now i shadow you religiously
silently sheltering you from harm 

Now ever waiting for you join me in
this so called after life

Where we the dead persist in
solitary alignment patiently
awaiting your arrival 

For not one single second longer
or shorter until your time has
lapsed as well 

And finally have you beside me
once again safe in the knowledge

That even death can never tear us
apart ever again

Death is for life

Just longer without clocks 
or watches as no one needs
to know what date or time it is
