L'Appel Du Vide

I shall jump out the window 
Triumphant and bold, my final task 
To why I do, I’ll tell you - I’m sick
But more, I beg you, do not ask

This life was long and death will give rest
When I lie in the earth, at last I’ll belong 
I’ll rot to the bone in the womb of all life
And hum to the tune of her motherly song

I’ll be in the air, all around, everywhere 
I’ll come back as the soil, compressed into oil
I’ll be the rain and the floods, I’ll be deep in the mud
And I’ll grow in the trees and add flair to their leaves

So don’t worry my dear, stay quiet, stay hush
It’s dazzling up here, it’s a maddening rush 
The water below awash with ripples and flow 
The horizon’s bedecked with a wonderful glow

So let me relish this delightful despair
It’s great to know I’ll conclude this affair
And when I choose to finally jump 
I’m sure I’ll land with a decorative thump
