Analysis of Before I Die
Before I die, let me dance beneath the stars,
Feel the rhythm of the universe, the beat of my heart.
Let me wander through forests, where secrets reside,
And swim in oceans deep, where dreams collide.
Before I die, I want to be rich even by coincidence
For when coincidences pile up, they become evidences.
Before I die, let me taste the sweetness of life,
Savoring every moment, banishing all strife.
Let me feast on laughter, and drink in joy,
Embracing each emotion, without decoy.
Before I die, let me touch the souls of others,
Kindness as my compass, sisters and brothers.
Let me heal the wounds of the broken-hearted,
And mend the ties that once were parted.
Before I die, let me see the world in its glory,
Mountains reaching for the sky, telling their story.
Let me witness the sunrise, painting the sky,
And marvel at the sunset, as the day says goodbye.
Before I die, let me smell the roses in bloom,
Their fragrance a reminder, of life's perfume.
Let me breathe in the air, fresh and pure,
And dance in the rain, feeling so sure.
Before I die, let me hear the songs of nature,
Birds chirping melodies, a divine theatre.
Let me listen to the whispers of the wind,
And the gentle lapping of waves, a soothing hymn.
