I could die today,
Not a man who is all happy,
But neither a man so morose.
I could die today,
Not a man who is free as a bird,
But neither the one in chains.
I could die today,
Not the man, a saint,
Neither the devil, not Satan's heir.
I could die today,
Not a man of Midas' touch.
Neither destinies dreaded orphan.
I could die today,
Not a man who lived as nature,
Neither the man who heard not the rustling leaves.
I could die today,
Not the one to walk behind Buddha,
But neither the lost soul of Maya.
I could die today,
Not the man of all fulfilled dreams,
But one with all that matters in life and death.
For all I could care,
I could die today,
A happy man, A happy man in death.
