Last Request

Source: We Heart It

I have no fear of dying,

The natural complement of living.

 

My only request…

I implore…

To whom ever has that

Ending task…please

Do not put my cold

body in a box in the ground

 

Return me to dust and ash

as it was meant to be

 

Spread me to the four winds

Allowing me to fly to 

those beloved places 

of my life

 

Floating on the 

sparkling blue water

of the ocean

 

Filtering through the 

air into primeval 

forests of pine

 

Mixing with the snows

of the Appalachians

where people I love

have lived

 

Let the updrafts carry

me across the Atlantic

Returning me to my 

Heritage – becoming one

again with the green of Ireland,

the Highlands of Scotland

And…

the Standing Stones of

Wales and England

 

Let me go willingly…

Honor my wishes

Allow me to become

once again a part

of all that is and was

ME…
