Here is a piece that is featured in one of my books and my spoken word CD.
I wrote Death Unleashed two years after my mom's passing. I saw many people struggle with the loss of loved ones. While this is perfectly understandable, I also feel that it is important to grieve well. We need to (re-)learn that life and death are part of the same cycle.
I shall give you death unleashed, my friend,
For your heart needs closure, forgiveness.
This is the day her soul will ascend
And reach the mountains of the ageless.
Why do you cry? Why do you lament?
Even the sun and the sky consent!
Please, let her go away; let her soar.
This is what you should really grope for.
I shall give you death unleashed, flowing,
For your soul needs some rest and insight.
Tell me, what’s the use of adoring,
When you overlook the beam of light
God planted in the heavens for you?
Look up, eternity’s tried and true.
Please, let her go away; let her soar.
That’s what she needs, what she cries out for!
I shall give you death unleashed.
I shall give you life unbreached.
Let the rain fall for a while,
Then come back to us, released.
This time will be your trial.
She left you for a reason.
You know, death is no treason.
I shall give you death unleashed.

Je te présente la mort libérée,
Car ton cœur doit pardonner.
Voici venu le temps de son ascension
Vers les montagnes éternelles.
Pourquoi pleurer ? Pourquoi se lamenter ?
Même les éléments sont en adoration !
Laisse-la donc partir ; laisse-la s’envoler.
C’est ça que tu dois rechercher.
Je te présente la mort brillante,
Car ton âme doit être plus consciente.
Dis-moi, pourquoi tant de dévotion
Quand on refuse de voir l’inspiration
Que Dieu a semée au sommet des cieux ?
Lève les yeux, l’éternité a fait ses preuves.
Laisse-la donc partir ; laisse-la s’envoler.
C’est son désir et elle le crie !
Je te présente la mort libérée.
Je te présente la vie sans limite.
Laisse donc la pluie tomber,
Mais reviens-nous ensuite délivré.
Accepte-la, c’est ton épreuve.
Elle t’a quitté pour une raison.
Tu sais, la mort n’est pas une trahison.
Je te présente la mort libérée.
