Beyond Belief


Freedom soars beyond belief.
The life of "the everything" flows
Through the cosmic blood--
The zipping current of essential
Ethereal fire.
Why indeed should we fear death,
We, who die a thousand times?
We will not be free from life
Until death surely comes.

And since it surely comes to all,
Why should the fear of it pour the mold
By which we shape some sad existence,
Eking barely along?
Give me liberty,
And give me death.
So set my poor soul free to live.
