// //
/
//and the oceans take it all,
which seems only right, given
that they birthed our lives
into the broader light//
you passed, not unexpected
but too soon all the same;
a gust of wind, a puff of air
extinguished your bright flame
so we consecrated you in fire,
and cried our tears of grief;
then gathered up your ashes
and said our blessings, brief
and your last great journey
brought us, to this crescent shore,
to respect your formal wishes
for the sea that you adore
and we shall sing the songs of mourning
as she takes you to her breast,
and blankets you in water
for this, your final rest.
