My Last Will and Testament

Being of sound mind and rational thought, I bequeath willfully and voluntarily, To the stars my dreams To the winds my wishes and whims My foibles and follies to the meandering streams, To the clouds go my tears My heartaches and pains to the mountains to bear and my ashes strewn over the plains, dales and valleys. Shove my poems in a chest and toss overboard in to the bosom of the sea… perchance it washes ashore some day. ~07/29/2017 ~A Stunner 2017 contest by Line Gauthier ~A Brian Strand contest

Very nice, Abdul, a lovely conceit-- you convey well the sense of how we belong to creation and all of its beauty ( and perhaps I will put my poems in a bottle and toss it into the ocean-- it is somehow a comforting thought!)

I really enjoyed the visual of shoving treasured possessions into a chest and pushing them overboard. Congratulations on your win Abdul.
