I shall give back the life that
was given me—growing from
the earth, living in the cycles
and the generosity of time—
and return the eternal atoms
(that who I am made me thus)
to the ground, to the open sky
to the creatures, where they
will be part of something new,
a complex rhythm heard again—
the major scale that goes on
and on in this global symphony.
