When my eyes can’t see
I’ll still be able to smell and hear and feel
And my eyes will see without seeing
When my ears can’t hear
I’ll still be able to smell and feel
And my eyes will be seeing without seeing
And so my ears will hear through them
When my sense of smell goes
I’ll still be able to feel
And my eyes will see without seeing
My ears will hear anyway
And so I’ll be able to smell
When I am unable to feel any more
I’ll still be able to feel and see and smell and hear
For my mind will sense the flow of energy all around
And that’s how I have always lived
And so my heart will still beat.
When my mind moves on
And all else is gone
I’ll still be able to live
With every fibre of my being
Because the beacon of light in my heart
Will shine its light forth
And every beat shall celebrate my eternal love
For life and the living.
And my body, my entire existence
Shall dance to my heart’s music
And when my heart stops beating
After all its encores
I will live on in the echo
Of my life in the world
For what is life but an eternal presence
That moves sights, sounds, smells, feelings and vision?
For what is life but a force, an energy
So vibrant that it permeates all darkness?
And how can one die when there is such a nurturing life force shining in you all your life?
When the music is over
The silence thereafter
Is the realisation that there was music
And the air waves dance on long after.
When I won’t be living any more
That is when I’ll be more alive
In the waves my life shall leave behind.
