feel the earth beneath my bones
embrace the fear I see
and call the cosmos home
To know my life is brief
and still be brave enough to breathe
then be buried in the clouds
let my ashes ride the breeze
But for now before I'm gone
I want to cradle every heart
touch every life with love
so that my end might be a spark
Every thing is fragile
every atom dies
still love grows
long after we close our eyes.
Make it count.
