"Rise Above This."

 
A wise old shaman aged but not

aged w/ time

Aged w/ realizations that gave

clarity of mind once said, "To

die is to live, is to live my friend,"

(To transcend this mortal realm),

To shed this skin, rife w/ necrosis,

w/out and w/in

To take what is w/in and pull it out,

letting it dissipate into the clouds

And letting a new mentality assuage

the rest until newness of reality is

all that now exists
