I'm having a good laugh with Death

He's funnier than I would have guessed

The black cloak was once intimidating

But when I smiled, He smiled back at me

So I'm having a good laugh with Death

As He prepares me for my last breath

What choice do I have while I'm alive?

I can only laugh or cry



We look at still frames of my life

They were just scenes of wasted time

I won't feel that pain again

There'll be no sign of a bitter end



I'm having a good laugh with Death

He tells me not to fear this rest

And another little secret line

He says I'll understand in time



He says "I laugh at the men with hate

I laugh when they speak:

When they act for their own sake

I laugh when they repeat childhood mistakes

I laugh when they are caught on worldly bait

I asked what else amuses Him

He looked at me with a childlike grin

And said "When you forget your true nature

You're wrapping yourself around my finger"



We look at still frames of my life

For so long now I have been blind

But I won't feel that pain again

I feel like I've been born again
