Work Text:
‘Tis the time for my soul to be freed and my body will be laid to rest.
I cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of euphoria in knowing I will finally be at peace.
And in doing so I leave it all! leave my anger, my sorrow, my pain, my love.
I leave the most dear person in my life ,my friend, and my beloved.
And to my beloved; whose arms embrace and comfort my aching heart, whose voice is as soft as an angel's, whose love as vast and deep as an ocean.
To my beloved
Please ,I beg, do not sorrow at my loss, weep not, as we shall cross paths again in this place called paradise.
And to those who await me,
the ones who held me so dearly in life, and whose lives were tragically stolen. To feel my mother’s warmth after all that time has passed. To hear my father’s voice that sang sweet lullabies and read stories to me in childhood.
And although I will be distraught without my beloved, the feeling is benign, for,
I will embrace eternal happiness in this place called
paradise…
