Only the Body Is Dead
I am not looking at the end of life
but at the beginning of love.
I enter cosmic consciousness
like a stranger in paradise.
Everything is new and fresh
without beginning or end.
My mind is like an empty book
where eternity is discovered.
If this is what death is like,
it seems like a virgin rebirth.
I told you i would let you know
if there is life across the river.
Now i’m reporting from the Styx,
“heaven and hell are a strange mix.”
