This is how I want to die....

I want to die unnoticed
like the little lone bird
who braves the storm,
only to rest her wings
upon a distant cloud,
never to return
to her earthly home.

I want to die joyously
like the morning dew
kisses the sleepy flowers,
before she slips between
the dark, heavy folds,
never to see the sun
wake up a yawning earth.

I want to die quietly
like the frozen ice thaws
in the warm summer sun,
as she sinks gently
into the lusty bosom
of a swelling ocean,
never to rise again.

how I want to die,
is how I want to live.
