I love this one, Thomas. It oozes with my brand of spirituality/philosophy of life, and death.

Here are couple of tanka (the first is of the unbroken line variety) I wrote about death several years ago that echo some of what you convey here:

"Exit-date illusion souls do not dissipate still leaving all-too-real for somnambulists yet waking won’t salve grieving hearts"

"Deaths’ facts differ still

Will drives lives’ paths to deaths’ dates

Love burns — searing pain

Deepest loss most room for gain

Endless pain, Light fills the drain"

(forgive me for that tanka having rhymes)

This next one you might very much appreciate, which towards the end has me imagining and participating in my own funeral, https://medium.com/imogenes-notebook/wandering-wonderings-13b8b9c614b1. subtitled "Free verse musings about death and life"
