Someday My Soul Shall Fly

Someday my soul shall fly to regions beyond The confines of this earth’s miserable façade I’ll know what until now has not yet dawned, The first time I’ll be touching the face of God. Behind the mysteries of the universe venture Opening those vistas of incredible magnitude, In what shall be my most elaborate adventure Unhindered by this broken body’s low latitude. For I shall have escaped the restrictions of life Temporal and transitory, for ethereal reality, Someday, somewhere, where there’s no strife I shall be utterly free of all restricting lethality, Roaming unrestricted through Eden’s loosestrife Once again together with my beautiful wife.

Indeed, Caren. And I mean it...for I believe it is this physicality, this body with its many issues, that severely limits us.
