my leaving party

When death greets me
and it is time for me to take my leave
When my body decides to call it a day
and leave this life behind
Do not give me a funeral
And do not place flowers at my grave
Dance until your heart gives out
And laugh until your belly aches
Dress me in my brightest outfit
and send me out to sea
Wether it is old age or illness
Do not remember how I left
Remember that I lived
I survived the madness of this earth
