Headstone Song

Now I fly ! May my gifts spread across our blue-green Globe as I return to Sky may my smile ripple in open hearts as I dance on an orange horizon may my healings remain remembered balms and my presence a white feather in your cocked hat May my meals remain flavourful tastes on your tongue and my touch soft breezes spiralling sacred secrets may my glance remain a glistening gem in germination and my breath a warm whisper in your cosy beds May my grey hairs nourish Earth as I harmonise with angelic harps my consummated flesh becoming a silent magnolia at your window May each slender match you use to light your candle kindle my flame that melts your marrow ! May tangled tears you shed for me become crystal water that slates your thirst after each marathon month and may gentle colours of my wash day become fragrant seeds you plant afresh in damp Earth gay... May soft indigo that vein my lids cloak your luminosity in each unfolding hour as ambrosia arms to embrace my baton you now hold aloft ! Now I fly !
