The Agenda

I must live so fully that it will be
unnecessary for me to be a ghost
haunting the living world.
I wish to spend my afterlife traveling
the realms of spirits and gods
without restraint or hesitation
to experience that which
my living flesh has been denied.
I will live as an eternal explorer
for all time after my mortal time
has expired like a carton of milk.
My remains will be nothing more
than a decaying curiosity
that has ceased to be of any use.
My spirit will be neither gas
nor mineral, ephemeral and eternal.
I will close my eyes and feel
the infinite fibers tether my being
and illuminate my vision
into a truly cosmic scale
as infinity weaves herself
into me and I into her,
and become as I have
always been meant to be.
