Plea From Above

Stop.
Stop now.
There is still time to turn around.
You will die here.
Is this your wish? Is this your desire?
I am free, but so are you.

Don't.
Don't fight.
You are headed to your burial mound.
Why do you not fear?
You are sick with lust for life in dire.
I am free, but so are you.

Stay.
Stay here.
To another fate let yourself be bound
Or else the end is near.
Is death such a petty price for honor to require?
I am free, but so are you.

Gone.
You're gone.
Your lifeless body fell fast to the ground.
Now is it all clear?
You looked at me in the sky as I soared higher and higher.
I am free, but now---in death---so are you.
