Soul Point of View

I wonder how long I’ll watch you
Even though you is really me
Waiting for some light to walk through

Perhaps I’ll see something heavenly
Or return as a form upgraded
I thought I’d feel blissful and free

But I feel more akin to jaded
Like leaving your shell cast aside
Is relinquishing what I created

Where this other self chose to abide
Wondering if this begins the end
Unsure where I live, now that I’ve died

Maybe it’s yet to be, status to pend
Or in time suppose I dissipate
If time is no more for me to lend

So I’ll wait here in a hazy state 
End up there or fade away here
Or if it’s not quite too late
My tangible eyes will open, before I disappear

Fine, fine writing, Hat. I enjoyed your poem immensely. It's a superb example of a well-written terza rima. Keep 'em coming.
