The Elemental Wheel

My heart burns
afire with the ache of loss
as my eyes flood with tears
memory’s salted waters
in this intimate moment
of your transition

your final breath expelled
now at last released
to the winds of time
it lifts to silent space
as do these whispers
of my goodbye

the quiet earth
awaits peacefully
to receive your ashes
into its eternal embrace
your spirit freed to travel
to enjoin the infinite universe

farewell my friend
may your precious life energy
burst into a beautiful everlasting light
dazzling across time and space
as your physical journey
on the elemental wheel
is now complete

you’ve ascended
this temporal plane

~ may ever you evolve ~

  1. So many loved ones are leaving now, as we all get older, and grief becomes a recurrent part of life. To be able to write poetry for them is not only a gift to them but also for oneself. I love your envisioning and prayer here.
