and death simply sleeps.
But do not fall victim to deceit and be a fool:
these dreams of life are nothing but a delay
while your flesh rots, your senses dull,
and your bones ache…
Do not let your last breath be your moment of realisation;
do not let your life flash before your eyes
in your final moments…
Rather, my friends, open your senses,
notice the silence,
and realise they are both the same
in perfect comparison.
Not a single fork—what is it to dream
when you never really wake up?
That’s death as well.
So yes, look again, my friends:
open your eyes and see
how the same we are—“Death and life.”
