What you should do
When I am dead,
Do not bury me here
Not in soil or sand
Not far not near.
I will not be held
Not by a coffin so costly
So set me alight
And one last time watch me
Cary me close,
And pick a good spot
Somewhere green
Where you'll forget-me-not
Open my lid, and pour out my ash
Watch me take flight
On borrowed wings
Feathers faded by light
And as you release me
In body and soul
Remember me right
Do not embellish my role
I was not your gravity
So lose not your way
But don't reduce me to tragedy
Nor stack me to weigh
Be kind in my name,
Throw seeds to a crow
Pick up the litter
The world had to throw
And know that no ending
No matter its rhyme
Will come and be painless
So its ok to cry
