I think of death
I think of deathNot because
I am afraid of death.
I meditate on death
Not because
I am afraid of death.
I love death
Not because
I am afraid of death.
I think of death
Because
Death needs my smile.
I meditate on death
Because
Death needs my life.
I love death
Because
Death at least,
    And none else,
    Acknowledges my heights.
Sri Chinmoy, The silence of death, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
