To Die

Don't cry for me, I've only just died. And yes, I know you tried and tried But the life ends and hearts do mend. Now I'm the atoms that war and love can never defend. A universe spinning all around and now I'm home, I'm found. Its the pain that goes away for me but I'm not a forgotten memory, don't you see? It's all around us that life is a gift but the death is the return to the love in the universe and beyond - Beyond the burn and concern of the world and the horrors that are done in turn. So reject the pain and celebrate with me for my death, like yours will be, was a certainty. But not of lost life but of the chance to be free. Not now but you'll one day agree. So lay aside the regret don't fret the time is now for livin' and later comes the dyin' but please no cryin' Let the tears be for you not for me that one day you too can become free in the dust, in the air and travel everywhere without a care while mourners stare and enemies glare. To Die is no dream it's a return to the love in the universe and beyond - Beyond the burn and concern of the world and the horrors that are done in turn.
