Transcendence
There's simply more than meets the eye
and yet most think after we die
is when we rise above this plane;
a new existence we shall reign.
These thoughts are wrong and light is life
now look beyond the pain and strife
Objects are not what they may seem
we can not see what we don't dream.
Lights and brainwaves crash to make
reality is put at stake
But what's the cost of mortal life
if we transcend the afterlife.
"Look," I'll beg for weeks on end
"Please look, just look!" their sights will bend,
They'll see, I think, what I see now
Rise above, you can't ask how.
