We speak of our ashes
not
of our water, our spirits
at
the end of our life
of
our ashes returning
becoming
dust once again;
but
what of our water, our spirits
our
life-force, our essence
returning
to the skies
dancing
with God.
We
are freed from our bonds
the
chains of our bodies, free to fly,
to
soar, to rise, like eagles, light creatures
water
beings, unchained, freed
to
dance in the courts of heaven;
we
speak of our ashes,
but
our water defines us
light
creatures, water beings
dancing
with God.
