    When death comes

    like the hungry bear in autumn

    when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse

    to buy me, and snaps his purse shut;

    when death comes

    like the measle-pox;

    when death comes

    like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,

    I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering;

    what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?

    And therefore I look upon everything

    as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,

    and I look upon time as no more than an idea,

    and I consider eternity as another possibility,

    and I think of each life as a flower, as common

    as a field daisy, and as singular,

    and each name a comfortable music in the mouth

    tending as all music does, toward silence,

    and each body a lion of courage, and something

    precious to the earth.

    When it’s over, I want to say: all my life

    I was a bride married to amazement.

    I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

    When it’s over, I don’t want to wonder

    if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

    I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened

    or full of argument.

    I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.

    I think GMB02 did not simply visit this world. Blessings on him and on all who loved him.

    hoping for strength and the knowledge that GMB02 is now on a new journey, into the vast universe to which we all return.
