If only I knew how to stop dying

If I knew not to die in life,
For I have died so many times,
I would turn to stardust,
To be forever immortal.

I would turn into darkness
Not to see my shadow anymore,
And let my eyes be the moon
What lights up the heavy night.

I would change into pure water
To flow downhill from the spring,
To kiss the sea at dawn
And then to rise to the clouds.

I would become a grain of sand,
For the wind to carry me away,
And finally eternity
To turn me back into a human
