I Want to Belong to the Winds

When I no longer lie on this Earth

And must welcome death into my heart

I shall be taken to a hilltop,

My ashes spread into the four winds

I shall travel North,

North, to the Northiest part of the world

I will travel East

And West

Around the Earth and back again.

I shall travel South,

South beyond the Southern borders I was limited,

Beyond the fear of leaving I had in life.

I will travel as far as the winds can take me

Around and around,

The world my carousel

One man on a journey to find everything.

Careening, dipping, landing where the winds halt

Resuming when they have finished their business

One soul reminiscing on a life that never was

When my journey is over,

The four winds will return me to that hilltop

When that day comes,

I hope you will join me.

We can sit on that graveyard as long as you like.

Even forever.
