Death Is So Beautiful

Death Is So Beautiful

Death is so beautiful in her black dress, 
Apollo sings into the microphone 
while Dionysus plays the saxophone 
and Orpheus twangs the psychotic lyre 
in Le Bal Blomet jazz club in gay Paris 
while ghosts who will die in the world war dance. 

Floating in eerie sorrow of the trance, 
Death twirls with graceful arrogance of love 
in crowd of people lost in haze of hope 
who dance to escape stark vision of fear 
for angels in silver planes who will fly 
and drop bombs on gardens of paradise. 

Alive on Earth four hundred million years, 
Death walks beside me on the road of life 
and smiles with joy for beauty of this world 
while telling me with beaming heart of love 
how wonderful all the human beings are 
who savor life with hot flame of the star. 

Viridian waves of the innocent sea 
flash as they swirl on gold sand of the beach 
with amazing lessons they want to teach, 
but I just stare at mirror of my eye 
that shelters our world in sphere of fresh air 
which fills our bodies with pneumatic soul. 

When I slouch paralyzed by grim despair 
at constant suffering that people endure 
everywhere else in never-ending pain, 
Death takes my hand with smile of joyful love 
and leads me in dance on our spinning globe 
that spirals on forever in the void. 

Death gazes at me with infinite eyes 
that glitter deep as boundless space through time 
so I feel vastness of the human heart 
that pulses with pure energy of hope 
to progress forward on the roadless plain 
within expansive strangeness of the sky. 

Though shock of horror pierces my soft heart 
with bitter angst at unfairness of fate 
that strands so many helpless souls in pain, 
I rise up from mud in oppressive rain 
to untwist wisdom of my heart from hate 
by mapping quest for love on my star chart. 

Death is so beautiful with her black eyes, 
I sing as I strum lyre of Mercury 
with heart-enchanting melody of faith 
that stirs the hearts of millions from despair 
so we all dance with spinning of the Earth 
to celebrate life till hour we all die.
