You are ...I came across your blog through a friend. You are doing an absolutely fantastic job! I read this, in paricular, and it reminded me of the following, that I'd written long ago...<br /><br />Caveat<br /><br />When I’m gone,<br />Don’t burn me up<br />And spread my wasting ashes on<br />The raging waves into<br />The mouths of the hungry crocodiles.<br />But instead,<br />Bury my useless bones<br />In the heart of the soil,<br />Where the only real sound is of the<br />Lonely cricket chirp.<br />The air is heavy,<br />Laden with the moist scent<br />Of apple blossoms and white lilies;<br />Turning mauve with the tears<br />At my departure…<br /><br />Where the crocodiles shan’t reach<br />To shed their tears<br />And the green verdure will grow to<br />Rest its tiring arms on me.<br />The sun setting into<br />The still valleys of nether will<br />Cast its last rays<br />On the tomb you build for me.<br />Let the epitaph read of your longing of me<br />The rain shall drench<br />Me clean and<br />The moonbeams will <br />Kiss my cheeks at night.<br />I’m tired<br />Let me rest now…Udita Banerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319922744252378061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588401421725359772.post-91648767166786495082011-10-01T21:07:41.368+01:002011-10-01T21:07:41.368+01:00Maya, sorry to have missed your comment.
