Bury Me At Sea

When my time passes And there’s no breath left in me, Take my ashes to the oceans And set my spirit free. There I can rejoin my friends There I will not be alone. There I can make my amends There I won’t be unknown. Far too much blood spilled onto this planet Makes its way to the sea. The raining of blood by droplet Rejoining there finally. Don’t leave me in the cold, cold ground. No – No imprisoned tomb for me. Let the waves be my stone bound An anxious tide, my cemetery. There I can float on endless waves A moving monument to see. And if you leave a tear on my grave I can float it away with me…

A very emotional write. I especially love the final verse. I already have my request where my ashes are to be scattered and they too will blow out into the sea. Hugs Jan xx
