I Don'T Want To Go
Lying on new mown grass
looking up at a starry sky,
the Eye of me cannot see
where the "I" will go when I die.
Believing in neither heaven or hell
within this mind I've had
but only in the Power of Love
that judges no good or bad,
yet brings light and coincidence,
mysteries that can't be explained
like where will I be, this dust of me
when I am no longer contained
within a body form passing
into another life phase.
With all the treasured memories
within me, it surely does amaze
to think its all to nothingness
as "I" become part of The One
and all these eons we all have lived
will be swallowed up in our sun.
It is eternity I seek as
this ego cries out for more
of Me and Mine and never, no never
to land on any distant shore,
but only to always stay here
forever and ever in this world
of beauty and magic and all its
mystery as it is unfurled.

Inspired by the following quote from Woody Allen:
"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work;
I want to achieve immortality through not dying."
