If only I knew how to stop dying

If I knew not to die in life,
For I have died so many times,
I would turn to stardust
To be forever immortal.

I would turn into darkness
To not see my shadow anymore,
And let my eyes be the moon
That lights up the heavy night.

I would change into pure water
To flow downhill from the spring,
To kiss the sea at dawn,
And then to ascend to the clouds.

I would become a grain of sand
For the wind to carry me away,
Until finally, eternity
Will turn me back into a human.
