Death Is Life Bursting into Bloom
by Alan Harris
|
When I die, I will not die. I will be a foot coming out of a too-small shoe, a bird flying free out of a cramping cage, an astronaut taking off his space suit, having safely returned home. When you die, you will not die either. You are not your body, as I'm not mine. You will see a brighter rainbow and hear heaven's ethereal music which no stereo can capture. When I die but not die, I will leave a little part of me inside your memory. It will be your key to my door that is always open in heaven. When you die but not die, I will have the key to your door too. Better to have keys for open doors than closed doors without keys, as in this locked-up life on earth. When I am gone but not gone, think of me and I am there. When you are gone but not gone, I will send you flowers through the air. Let us celebrate the magnificent safety of death. |
