What do You Think of when you Think about Death?

M.E.M.

I don’t worry about others

I know they will be okay.

 

I worry what will happen to my body.

I know I won’t be around

to determine what happens to it,

but I hope it gives back to the planet,

in some way.

 

I do fear dying

because Earth is no longer livable.

 

But when I think about how and where,

I think back to the final scene in Titanic

when Rose goes peacefully in her sleep

surrounded by photos of her adventures.

I would like to be surrounded by family though.

 

And I’d like to think that when I go,

I will be dreaming,

and that I will just dream, and dream,

forever after.
