Garnish My Grave

Rythmic vibrations announce your presence 
Lain on my forest floor grave we string vision
Twigs produce laden pods with hidden houdinis
Never final spiral attaches leaving with giving

Listen to tidbits from beneath, decay's largess
Brittle as ripple's rise falls, influence is knitted
Ordain my grave with precious anise herb harvest 
Tight packed tips pop tasty petals energetically

Keep confiding in me, vital as battle's bravery 
Caress flowering faces which thrive beside us
Press your nose to cones bearing hairy havens
Straining stamen assure transient wasp respite

Blessed with increments, cartoon sun Tarragon 
tires of shining, regards demise as sweet relief
Steadied by soil, I dream, free of days' distraction
Breathless ribs signal liberty selects peace

Expanse entrances limitations, opposites meld
Allowance transfers power, dominion widened
Tranquil spaces consecrate me,  bolstered hopes held
Hungry dirt's coalesce is design demystified

Merry go round seasons negotiate masterful habitat
Marrow boosts accommodating limbs a century on
My eighth decade stumbled with health haphazard 
Mighty Cedar Tree's  grandour increases with duration

Permit yourself witness to our after life ability
Cedar's unseen feet reciprocate branches' drive
Pay tribute to tenacity as seeds drift dutifully 
Leaves of a million siblings document triumph
