When I Die
Let my soul rise to the heavens
And meld with the music of dreamland.
Let my spirit swirl in shades of blue
Intertwined with the stars
When I die
May I take joy from the atmosphere
May I sense pain—but only briefly
May the Sun give my Eulogy,
May the moon bow in honor.
When I die
Do not mourn
My heart is finally at peace.
Rejoice instead and dance
Celebrate death’s release.
