Come meet me
on the burning pyre, Beloved
your red-orange
arms outstretched
your blazing face awash with love
Eager to
embrace a soul long dead
A body now
deceased.
Regrets and
sorrow, fears and tears
Now futile
as the soothing sun rays
That once woke
to life now withered blooms:
Come play
with my burning dreams, Beloved
Once radiant
as rainbows, now charred
beyond recognition;
a fistful of ash
soon to
tumble into flowing streams of Time
To float, to
swirl, to disintegrate
To rest at
last in peace
Swayed in
oceanic cradles:
Deep, deep let
them sink
To find new
homes to live new lives
Perhaps in oyster
shells
Or in
coloured coral reefs
Rewinding, rebuilding,
rejuvenating
