Notes About The Poem

This was inspired by the song "IF I AM DEAD" 

If I Am Dead

If I am dead look upwards
during the day I am an
ever changing cloud.

At night I join the moon
as she beams down on you
casting silvery rays.

Watch the birds as they fly
and swoop then soar up high
knowing I am among them.

Each flower you pick and
then sniff reminds you
of my fragrance.

At night when shadows appear
know with certainty that I too 
am frolicking in their midst.

Each song playing is joyful
full of meaning so magical
I sing along as I float by.

Do not shed tears for I do
not need them. Not now for
I Am Free and I Can Fly.
