A Natural Burial

Take me not to a grave,
but an entombment of clover.

Surround me not with people,
but a forest of sweet flora.

Bring not your tears,
but a bundle of flowers.

Lay me to rest not with sadness,
but with our memories.

Speak of me not through a stranger,
but from each of your hearts.

Send me off not in a prayer,
but plant seeds in my soil.

Remember me not in sickness,
but eternal happiness.

Visit me not uneasily,
but pleasantly among the butterflies.
