When I die
when my coffin
is being taken out
you must never think
i am missing this world
+
don’t shed any tears
don’t lament or
feel sorry
i’m not falling
into a monster’s abyss
+
when you see
my corpse is being carried
don’t cry for my leaving
i’m not leaving
i’m arriving at eternal love
+
when you leave me
in the grave
don’t say goodbye
remember a grave is
only a curtain
for the paradise behind
+
you’ll only see me
descending into a grave
now watch me rise
how can there be an end
when the sun sets or
the moon goes down
+
it looks like the end
it seems like a sunset
but in reality it is a dawn
when the grave locks you up
that is when your soul is freed
+
have you ever seen
a seed fallen to earth
not rise with a new life
why should you doubt the rise
of a seed named human
+
have you ever seen
a bucket lowered into a well
coming back empty
why lament for a soul
when it can come back
like Joseph from the well
+
when for the last time
you close your mouth
your words and soul
will belong to the world
no place no time
