Mountain Death Song

beam me up
I've been waiting for a miracle
beam me up 
I've been waiting just for you
beam me up 
I've been waiting for this moment
beam me up 
for there's nothing more to do
beam me up
over the rainbow or down a rabbit hole
beam me up 
beyond the vision in my eyes
beam me up 
as I sit upon this boulder
beam me up
out of the shell of my disguise
beam me up 
when no one else is watching
beam me up 
right down into my soul
beam me up 
into the vast and bright blue yonder 
beam me up 
as my body's growing old
beam me up
before I falter
beam me up 
before I fall
beam me up 
before it passes
this sharp appreciation of it all

(August 2015, published in my 2nd book Little Pine, 2016))
