Choose My Time To Die

If I can choose my time to die winter is my first choice although I can imagine any season could be good for releasing ego’s hold on troubled ecoEarth-engagement, should there be such a long-named thing when I choose my AnthroPrivileged time to die. I would walk out through Earth's sacred trees to caress and bid farewell and thank them for this air we breathe for their patience with my cut-down ways, I would breathe my richest breath into their root systems as I walk on through fading nests of deep sleep bees breathing Life and Death through rich swells of mad elation rooted inside blustered breeze. I would lie down on snow under falling flakes blanketing this final rest gathering owl’s rich medicine listening to her echoing WhoAreYou night-ride voice twinkling back into this miracle nest of snow-flaking stars twinkling we kisses us misses through our gusty path Lying down as cold and ego-bold as silent snow. Co-gravitating co-arising timeless Earth-membered conscious choice of times we live to give as freely as Earth’s melting glow. Not not old and cold timeless flowing eco-fancy circle dancing, snow replacing silent stars, Great Adventure’s rebirth light Not bright not might not night not sight not fight not left or right.
