Pizazz.
When I lay down a life I’ve lived
both short and long,
I’ll leave behind my body heart…
that pump, that beating drum…
My spirit heart will rise in earthly pain
To be released of bruise when I transpire
into the other realm…
May calm cognition
be the algebra of what
I once called me…
Oh sweet eternity..do not abandon me.
Greet me. Salaam. Salaam.
