A Tree And Me |
PLEASE CARVE |
NO COLD HEADSTONE |
FOR ME, |
BUT RATHER PLANT |
A SAPLING TREE; |
AND LAY MY ASHES |
`NEATH ITS FOOT, |
SO THROUGH MY BODY |
IT TAKES ROOT. |
THEN AS THE SEASONS |
COME AND GO, |
MY MONUMENT |
AND I WILL GROW; |
WAVE BRIGHT GREEN FLAGS |
AT SUMMER`S SKY, |
AND HARBOR BIRDS |
WHO HAPPEN BY. |
WE`LL BRONZE |
EACH AUTUMN BLOOM |
WITH SPRING, |
AND WEAR |
THE WHITE COATS |
WINTERS BRING. |
THE TREE I MARRY |
WITH MY DUST, |
WILL HUSBAND ME |
WITH ROOTED THRUSTS. |
OUR SEED WILL SCATTER |
FAR AND WIDE, |
ACROSS |
GOD`S FERTILE COUNTRYSIDE; |
AND SOON |
AN ARBOR FAMILY |
WILL SHARE |
OUR IMMORTALITY, |
A TREE AND ME, |
A TREE AND ME. |
