The Sea

By the Sea

When I die bury me near the sea
Cast my body upon the water to thee.
Allow me to rest in the darkness of the deep
To renew my soul after a short quiet sleep.

That I will always be bathed by Gods daughter
To be softly enfolded by the holy water.
Tho I ask for much I will ask for more
An eternal gratitude for the earthly chore.

Sanction my tenure according to your will
That the motion of your water never remain still.
To reach out and touch the seed of your treasure
Your living creations that always give pleasure.

To look up with a view from a different direction
Never again to feel the hurt of rejection.
That my continuity will always take place
With my sisters and brothers regardless of face.

Thank you my God for the quick release
For my moment of life into the eternal peace.
As I have said before; I offer my final fond adieu
My God, My God; I truly love you.
