I was deathless at that time

I did not know about death
when I was a little girl.
Nobody had told me about it at that time.
I was sure all was eternity
although I did not know
the deep meaning of this word too.

I did not know about death.
So I was a deathless girl at that time.

My beloved grandmother showed me
the existence of the space of death.
She went inside that space.

She never returned to me
although I waited for her every day.
I was sure my grandmother would return to me
if she could find a possibility to do so.

She did not return.
So I felt the stern cold of the breath of death.
