If I must die,
Let it not be in fire
Let it not be
In the flames of desire

Nor let it be
On chilly ground
Shunned and rejected,
Missing of true sound

If I must Perish,
Be it not in green
Let me not be overcome by wants,
Yet think they are needs

If I must fall,
Let it be with pride
Not trapped in a corner,
After my faith has been tried

Let my end be
Devoid of blue
Fill it with light emotions,
That shall ring, strong and true

Let it be not your time

Death is a very hard subject to think about, yet you have displayed an artful understanding and acceptance of it. I enjoyed how you connected colors with emotion and the pitfalls of being human while not leaving out the benefits.
