living across timezones

DAA0F98B-105E-48C6-A49E-2A13DA961D35When death comes to receive my flesh

Will that death bell give me options?

 

Will I know how to make that choice?

Central time will be practical, least disruptive

Pacific time will reflect eagerness, a rushed closure

Eastern time could be interesting, night falling sooner

Indian standard time is a wise idea, map my death to my birth

 

When death comes to receive my flesh

Will my angel sing me a song?

Will I know which song will be best for the journey?

Spiritual beats may be ideal to usher in the truth

Romantic songs will be a good reminder of evenings at home

Jingles may lighten up the atmosphere, helpful for shocked children

Lullaby’s are universally liked, and should be a good way to be out to rest

 

When death comes to receive my flesh

Will the death wish allow me to pick company?

Will I know who I want to spend the rest of my soul with?

The many who went without permission and sulking still

Them which drifted away too soon and are relishing the light

Those that went with a full life and are happy in their new place

Few that served as catalysts for learning and continue as students

 

When death comes to receive my flesh

Remind me to ask him to take my soul too

I think silence will be a good change for both

One thought on “living across timezones”

  1. When death comes would I be in a state of Ananda already or
    Would I attain Ananda after having been taken away.?
    One more alternative.
    Lullabys Should be a good way out
    . And then the use of jingle bells is
    Indeed adding new vocabulary to literatuure to death wish.
    Very nicely written
    Love your style
