He waited until it was time and then he went through, you know. He transferred his spirit into another realm, metamorphosized into a new state of being. He's here, ya know.

He's coming again. I hear his black shroud whisper against the concrete of the city sidewalks. He's coming again. I can hear the leaves crackle beneath the bones of his feet. He's coming again. The waters slap the shore beneath a star filled sky. The moon sees him too.
I hear the earth move under my feet.
I'm on the outside, I'm looking in.
Every step you take, I hear you.
You have so much more to teach me.
I will go get Jim.
