“R. I. P.”
I’d like to give
this body a break,
lay it across a gentle
creek and let the
sweet water carry it
to rest.
I’d like to give
this mind a break,
lead it to the wind,
and let it be carried
by the sweep of air
to rest.
I’d like to give
these emotions a break,
to let them sigh deeply
against the limbs of
redwoods, to carry
them to the ground
to rest.
I’d like to give
this self a break,
to surrender to that
Great Eternal Space
that holds all things
so that I can finally,
finally lay down
and rest.
