To the Sea

Take me, down to the sea
 scatter my ashes to the four winds
whisper on sails of ancient shores
 where all that's left from before
remains in your memory to store.

Cling to these moments
 tears of last goodbyes
and believe I am here and thrive
 forever  in your heart still alive
and in your thoughts, I survive.
