Death Is Imminent (However, Relative)

Don’t say «start over,» it doesn’t mean a thing
When you face death tell me:
What do you see?
What do you see?
(Do we) gain perspective face to face with loss
If you are just body then it’s true you are no more
But if there’s soul beneath that casing, only now you’re being born
I hoisted your dead weight over my frail but tireless back
I took you to the edge of where I planned to grow a forest
I closed your eyes and dug a hole and made my peace with
The fact that this would be your final earthly placement
And as I watched your fur and muzzle disappear
It’s then that understanding and acceptance replaced my fear
And I didn’t know what to say, but I knew what I had to do
Every day I made my way back to that tragic spot
I’d watch the birds and insects traverse your burial plot
One day upon arriving, I found a tiny sprout
He reached up from the ground as if to say «Please, just let me out!»
And I didn’t know what to say
But I knew what I had to do
I watched you coming back to me!
What did you see?
What did you see?
