One step will take me over; I find myself slowing.
There is a great abyss which no-one has survived,
Here the spirits of my people have thrived.

I am on the precipice now and teetering,
My strength and resolve now is weakening.
The broken ice makes my decision for me,
I am falling; all around me darkness I see.

It is time for me to travel to the city in the sky,
People will say my death is a journey gone awry.
While the mortals go about their daily business,
Above them I will fly; my destination aimless.

My life is fading and there is nothing else to say,
For a quick entry into the shadows I will pray.
Godspeed my friends; one day again we will meet,
You with great joy once more I will greet.

Dang! With my health, I guess I too say goodbye more often these days with "See ya on the other side."
Nothin' wrong with that . without fear of what's comin' we can even git more prolific in our purpose 'n' go out winners, huh. You seem to be openin' some eyes with yer words. Precipice is a good read. Kudos
