Living Will
If somehow I am paralysed
And unable to communicate
Let my wishes be known
Let there be music
Let there be silence
Let there be birdsong
And let my loved ones speak
Read to me
Feed me news
Will I want to die?
I don't know
Right now I can't say
Either way
But right now my life is frozen
And has been in many ways all my life
And yet I find meaning in these things
Perhaps if I am locked in my brain
I'll enjoy life just the same
By indulging in lucid dreaming
Perhaps even then life has meaning
Just remember to give me pain relief
As that helps I believe
