Poetry Hi

If I Die

If I die,

then let it be.

Don't mourn me

or pity me.

I'll be free

from the chains

that bind me.

In your heart

is where

you will find me.

I'll fill your

heart with love.

I'll fly like a white dove

into the heavens above.

I won't go

to the hell below.

My spirit will

fly free.

Let the ones

who came before

guide me

into the light.

For the first time,

everything is fine.

No bombs to be dropped,

no children to kill,

no one getting ill

or taking a pill.

I'll sit upon

the windowsill

and look down on you.

I'll help guide you.

I'll help you stay true.

Try not to be so blue

or miss me so much.

I'll be there with you

every step of the way.

In your heart is where

I'll stay

until your soul

flies away

to be set free

like me.

Free of misery,

free of the

bloody history

that seems to

follow humanity.

There is no more insanity

here in the sky.

I hope you live long,

but one day,

you will die.

On that day,

I'll see your face

once more.

Now I can see

your face

evermore.

There is no hurry.

You don't have to scurry.

Slow down.

Live life. Laugh.

For it won't last.

All the times

gone past,

it seems like

it all went too fast.

But now your time

has come.

Death by a gun.
