Where Your Ashes Lay

I saw again, the picture
where you ashes lay
on the frozen, snow-covered ground
spread out on the side of the slope
the mountain you loved
released to the winds, to the earth
your ashes feeding the ground,
the trees, the mosses,
the ferns of that hillside
long since one with the soil
returned to the earth
