Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Wind In the Willow Chimes

Come the if and when

All that of me is to be left

Can be placed or fit inside
a coffin or an ashen matchbox

May this i pray my final
wish be

That the prevailing winds

Not only the storm i leave
lesser

But rather pass you over and bye

And leave no trace behind 

But a picture perfect sunset 

For my loved ones to bask in 
and take in

All of life's magnificence and glory

Before it's gone

And would gladly welcome
a chilling breeze cutting a
path right through you

Any feeling at all even if
that be pain or cause discomfort

Anything but this the final
ignominy that death has to offer 

Is regret , sorry wish i could 
have , should have

Are currency that only be spent
whilst amongst and on the living
