And When I Die

Be of good cheer When sadness comes; Let peace sign clear Grand days that sum. Death is the way To going home; Where rainbow rays Forfeit stray roam. Dying looks plain, Steps feel easy; Light beyond vain, Nice and breezy. In sure embrace, This simple gift; Finesse in place To seize and lift. Do not despair When death comes round; Life's brief affair In lost and found. Be still my soul For death brings life; In pastures whole Beyond all strife. Here as I wait With heart and mind, Sense my sure fate When death aligns. Here for a while, In ritual days; I style fond smiles As fun primes play. Here in this glare Of lights and sounds, Sights that I stare Fling feelings round. Here for a day, Then gone like trash; Not much to say But live bold dash. As I lie down, Let joy find peace; A foolish clown Can seize short lease. No need to cry Or waste your tears; Just heave a sigh To live good cheer. No more to feel The scorching sun; No more free will To hazard run. No more dismay Or sadness now; I've gone away To new endows. Goodbye to all Who I breezed by; Thanks for the calls As shock hurled sighs. Goodbye my friends Of time-blown days; We shared a blend Of fleeting play. Goodbye dear kin For lovely grace; For love unseen, Such priceless wins. Hello dear death, Where have you been? Here take my breath, Now let us scheme. Leon Enriquez 12 October 2014 Singapore
