Headstone Song

HEADSTONE SONG

May my gifts spread across the Blue-Green
Globe when I return to Sky
May my smile ripple in your open hearts
When I dance on an orange horizon
May my healings remain remembered
Balms and my presence a
Feather in your hat

May my meals remain flavourful
Tastes on your buds and my touch
Soft breezes in your sacral spiral
May my glance remain sweet
Small sapphires in centre cells
And my breath a warm circumference
In your cosy rooms

May my grey hairs nourish this Earth
When I harmonise with angelic harps
And my consummated flesh become a
Wordless magnolia at your window pane
May each slender match you use to
Light your candle kindle my flame that
Warms your marrow

May glistening tears you shed for me
Be crystal water that slates your
Thirst after each marathon month
And the colours of my washing day
Be fragrant seeds you plant afresh

May the velvet white that covers my lids
Cloak your luminosity that penetrates
Each unfolding hour in soft footsteps to
Embrace my baton you now hold aloft !
