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