Today I observed the flaming trees, The flakes of gold drifting in the wind, Like sleepy fairies, And I thought, I want to die like a maple, die like an aspen in the fall, as my strength is stripped away, the underlying poetry of my veins is exposed, and the tough skin peels back, to show my unsung melodies, Every note! and it is a song, blending beautifully with the cosmos, Oh, that I would die like a tree, when you see my barren body, remember my last red moment, full of auroreatic brilliance,

May I die like a tree
Today I observed the flaming trees, The flakes of gold drifting in the wind, Like sleepy fairies, And I thought, I want to die like a maple, die like an aspen in the fall, as my strength is stripped away, the underlying poetry of my veins is exposed, and the tough skin peels back, to show my unsung melodies, Every note! and it is a song, blending beautifully with the cosmos, Oh, that I would die like a tree, when you see my barren body, remember my last red moment, full of auroreatic brilliance,
