bury me beneath the ocean waves
and let its sadness wash over me.
let the harsh winds
scream and mourn the loss
of its light; and let the sky
cry out for its missing heart.
bury me beneath the flower bed
and let its soft petals cover me.
let the white butterflies
bring a smile to a child's
face; only to take it away
when they disappear.
bury me beneath the night sky
and let the stars fall
and in their passing.
light up
me
