Spirit

You pass me
as I fly by.

Closer to the mist 
in the sky.

I'm getting closer
to that place.

Where I'll meet you
in the sky.

Can you tell me
where does the spirit go
when you die?

I want to know
so I can meet you there
when I die.

oh gosh, how did I not see this? I really like how it reads. It reminds me of the Spirit in the Sky song I loved so much in my teens. WEll, You are my last read of the night, Debbie. Just so much to do!!! Goodnight now.

G'day Debbie... an interesting poem with a question that I'm certain will bring forth multiple answers. I enjoyed your poem Debbie - Lindsay

Perhaps we do have spirits. Wouldn't that be nice? That you want to meet after death is a cute idea. You are out there now, and I appreciate being able to approach you this way. Your words will be here for a long time. The pleasant thought I have for you is here right now. Thank-you so much! You have started my day with a smile. That is a gift.
