Where does it End

Where does it end  
When do you know
Skip a rock across the canal
Listen for heaven  
Gather up your soul
Trains rolling out
Ticket punched… time to die
People you knew say goodbye  
Flowers and black suits
Go back to a time before they started shoveling  
Life coursing through you
Not a thought of the grim reaper
Flip the switch to my dreams
Walking and breathing and eating and seeing
Waking and breathing and smelling and hearing
Sense of just who we are
Essence of us  
No matter where you came from
