Array ( [sid] => 6679 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => the way I would like to die [time] => 2002-11-14 17:00:00 [hometext] => one of my dreams in life. [bodytext] => This is the way I'd like to die
If you must know
I would like to go when the stars are visible
and the fowls gone to roost
playing a tone along the nightingale
with a shaky voice

I would like to go when I'm due
and my death can't be felt
when I'm worn out
hobbling on all legs
posing like a golfer
with a sinking neck
weary in body and mind
with my sight dim to sunlight
and my cheecks sag to the extreme
seeing my death coming
yet embracing it in a cold of happiness
leaving behind dried eyes
with inner tears of joy.

This is a beautiful way you have
expressed how you want to pass on
out of this world, I really enjoyed
reading this, it's absolutely beautiful
