  I know I shall love death as well

  From the right breast the mother
  Takes it away, in the very next moment
  To find in the left one
  Its consolation.

• Letting the last breath come.
  Letting the last breath go.
  Dissolving, dissolving into vast space,
  the light body released from its heavier form.
  A sense of connectedness with all that is,
  all sense of separation dissolved
  in the vastness of being.
  Each breath melting into space
  as though it were the last.
