The best I can hope for
by Ludger Hofmann-Englso much it is
and so few have been
granted
The best I can hope for
to spend the rest
of my life
in peace
unknown
unapproached
untroubled
and then to pass away
in peace
in my sleep
near a lake
that would be great
to have one last swim
return
to my cottage
and pass away
in my sleep
and then
I don't want to be trouble
to anyone
I surely would upset
the person
who found me
dead
Is it not that life
is so full
of trouble
and we can't even
die in peace
Maybe if I drowned
during my last
swim
But I really don't like
drowning
There is hope
that by the time
I die
nobody really bothers
That would be nice
and peaceful
A cottage
near a lake
that would be
great
