“Be still, no more harsh words.

There’s not much left for me.

Don’t cry over me.

There’s no longer any fire to put out.

I no longer have a sense of what I am

and what I’m not.

I look around. Is that me?

Or that?

I’m becoming more and more invisible.

I’ve given away all I ever had.

But I’m not going to die.

What remains: a door.

I don’t die, I just disappear.

Maybe, I’ll reawaken.

Then I will return to look for you.”

你若稱他為天使,

就請祝福,而非贊美他的翅膀。

雙翼之下是時間,

水色眼眸中是生命。

你若發現他衰老的痕迹,

就請微笑,而非哀悼他的金發。

潮汐帶走的是悲傷,

波光閃爍的是他的樂章。
