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 !
