Morning Dew

Do not dig a hole for me
Light a fire and set me free

Floating passed the vultures there
Spreading wide through the air

To seed the clouds with all my ash
And wash away a long life's trash

Up on high with stars around
Until the rain brings me down

Soaking in the ground below
Feed the flowers so they may grow

Giving back to life I've taken
Feed the Earth til I next awaken

Life feeds life, this much is true
Maybe I'll see you tomorrow..
in the morning dew

Do not dig a hole for me

This is a great beginning. This is what I would like. I can't imagine my body stuck underground in a coffin. Ugh!
I agree with PrettyOdd except instead of saying "I HOPE that you don't delete this again", I'm going to say "DO NOT delete this again!!" Haha!

Reading this brought a few tears to my eyes, I have to admit. It just reminded me of the family members I've lost. It's kind of comforting, too, if that makes sense.
A very peaceful and beautiful poem. I really hope you don't delete this one again.

Life feeds life

I like that.

It sounds like a lovely way to honor the memory of someone. Death is really not pretty, but you made it sound beautiful. Great work Grunty!

'Do not dig a hole for me
Light a fire and set me free'

That's what I want when I'm gone... it really strikes me as a powerful opening to the poem.

I really, really like this... I haven't actually figured out why...but I know what I like and this is it! (laughs)
