Tomorrow I will go...

Tomorrow I'll go... it 's really of no importance
It happens normally like falling leaves in the park,
Or flowers stripped by wind on the landmark,
A rather insignificant story in the turbulent current of life.

Beside my sick bed, flickering Death appears,
Please no comments, no visitations and prayers for peace,
When exhausted body releases its last breaths to cease,
I will lie down in agony, waiting for the time to bid farewell..

At final moment, nothing is regrettable,
The days and the months cold or hot in this life worldly,
No matter I am wealthy or full of glory,
I must leave everything behind to return to dust and ashes.

To terminate completely my short and ephemeral life,
I am ready to step into the boundery of yin and yang,
No panic before the threshold of borderlands,
This side, earthly area, and other, invisible, unknown realm...

Only to wish my soul always at ease,
With empty baggage I can make a quick pace,
Forget totally behind the "pull and push" race,
To end forever my journey on this Planet.

When my eyes already closed, Please don't shed tears for sympathy,
No flower wreaths, no donations and no need to send condolences,
No filming, no pictures taken to save them,
It causes not only inconveniences but also debts for living people.

Look back at the past, the human life like a dream,
I arrived naked and am leaving with empty hands
All ups and downs, happiness or unhappiness on lands,
Will be cleared up...to step on a shore, the boat reaches its port.

If I am missed, please silently pray for me,
Consider it as an emancipation of one human life,
Have a peace of mind, be relaxed and have a good time,
This one goes first, the other after, finally to meet together again.

Pray God by entrusting entirely to Him soul and body,
Living in this present situation with every minutes of heaven,
Day by day, to create a chain of peace even,
That's my aspiration during my presence in this material world.
