My Liberator
MY LIBERATOR
(Written upon the death of a thirteen –year –old girl as eulogy)
The ill-fated day of death came unexpectedly
To my great surprise
As life’s iron grasp of my hand, had lost its
Strength and vigor
And that of death’s had gained much power
And might
In vain I cried for life’s help, for she had lost
The battle
So, the cold hands of death I felt around my
Skeleton waist
Violently squeezing me with all their force
And main
Eager to extinguish in me they wish, the very last
Spark of life
And as now the shrilling wind of death, is howling
Throughout my body
I fall breathless, DEAD and motionless over the ground
Remain
Yet, I am still here, just hovering all around my
Inanimate body,
Surprised! Confused! Bewildered, nevertheless
EXISTING!
With no hands, no arms, no legs, no head or any
Other organ,
Just pure thought, pure consciousness, pure light,
In other words a SOUL
Death, you are my savior, my friend my
Ally
Thank you for delivering me from agony and
Pain
From space, time, ignorance, ignominy,
Injustice
And most of all, I thank Thee for the eternal
Life
Now, to those of you who many tears of sorrow
Have shed for my sake
One thing I have to ask: Rejoice for
I am truly alive
Dead was I certainly, when among you
Existed,
Therefore, your grief for me should turn to
Great joy,
If you do not want me to pity you and delay
My flight
Impatient my soul now becomes, needs to
Fly away
Far from human misery and every other
Worry
The only thought that exists deep down in
My soul
Is to trace back its steps to its celestial
Home
Now, I fly uninterruptedly, I am on my
Way
As the shining bright stars illumine my
Road
The road of accomplishment, attainment and
Glory
Ah, there at last I see the ever dazzling
Light
The gates of eternity to open for me
Wide
And God Himself to look at me with His ever
Blazing eyes
Calling to hurry forward and with Him
Unite
Instantly I disappear in a universe of sacred
Light
Joyful, happy, jubilant, ecstatic, ever-
Blissful
Becoming one with the ONE, immortal
Everlasting
Radiating with holiness, enraptured with
Grace
A ray of divinity encompassing the
COSMOS
Oh, how grateful I am to you DEATH
My LIBERATOR!
