When I die there’s a chance
I might dissolve into the cosmos.

I’ve been close to that place before,
but I chose not to enter it.

I was too frightened, fearing I’d lose
everything near and dear to me.

I felt all that would be obliterated
completely out of my world.

When I die, I’ll have no choice to
enter or not enter.

I believe I just might melt into the
eternal bliss consciousness.

Of course, I could be wrong and
what is me might just perish.

No more me, dead forever, rotting
in the cold ground.

If that is the case, I’m totally okay
with that real possibility.

No me, no problems, a kind of
imperturbable peace.

Bob Boyd
