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
