A Spirit I Know by C.H. Allen Clark

Spirit and body are two separate
Entities    A world we travel
To a world by plane
I go     Release myself
You     Me      Two complete
Beings      An alien unknown
To the universe      A yellow moon
Sunrise awakens me
You      On a plane      A spirit can
Do no more      Limited
I want to fly       Pass
The world over a moon can jump
Skip      Dance      Nothing a sickness can do
Limited      In bed lying there
Dying      To hear me      To speak
One moment flies past us
A ghost of yesterday
