In Thy Route, I Too Shall Sail. Poem by Wangchat konyak

I am not terrified about death,
But rather excited to embrace it.
For in that route my beloved rode,
And in that route I am to ride.
Oh, when my time comes to sail,
I'll merrily sail to where it leads.
For in the death land my beloved dwells,
And surly shall the death take me there.
Oh, my beloved, may you wait for me,
When my time comes to sail-
I'll surly come and look for you,
I'll find you and embrace you.
And when I come to the death land,
Truly will I tell you the secret of my heart.
Oh, death! I am not shaken and I won't be,
For through inevitable death-
I'll be united with my most beloved.
