Death Wish
After we
Have left this world
If there is a Heaven
I will find you
Through pearly gates
On golden streets
I won’t stop looking
Until I’m with you again
But if instead
We are reborn
In another time,
in another place
I’ll muddle through Samsara
Seeking only you.
Still, there is another idea
Invented by skeptics
That this is all there is.
That when we die
We simply turn
To dust and memory
Gone forever.
And if that is true
I’ll rest easy in the ground
Having made my way
Through an imperfect world
With my perfect lover.
