Life and death are parts

Of the same spectacle.

You can’t miss it

Once you were born.

 

You are responsible for your life

And for your death.

 

The question what is the meaning of death

Cannot be answered

And it is just as well.

 

We would have gone berserk

If we possessed the knowledge

Of the two worlds.

 

We do not cope with the human world

Well enough.

To cope with the two worlds

Would be a nightmare.

 

We cannot be wise to know

What death is about.

 

But we can acquire some wisdom

In learning how to approach

This inscrutable phenomenon (death)

With dignity and without fear

When our time is near.
