Seasons Of Love

Should it be autum, when I hear the call. What a glorious ending, should I die in fall. Burn up this vessel, leaving nothing but dust. May my spirit fly free, in leaves of ochur and rust. It might be cold winter, when I am called home. On a mantle of white, Let my ashes be thrown. Let me become one, with this piece of my heart. I shall lie down with snow, to make a new start. Spring might be the time, when I have to leave. What a magical season, there's no time to grieve. Let my dust feed a garden, which might nurture some soul. To be one with the earth now, is my final goal. Better yet summer, in the sun's burning flame. Surround me with flowers, that I know by name. Scatter my leavings, along with their seed. Let my body's remains, become part of their feed. No matter the season, winter, summer, spring, fall, I've grown fonder of some, yet I have loved them all. As my soul leaves this plane, set my remains free. To be one with the earth, is what I long to be.

Additional Notes:
I created a small flower garden 3 years ago, blood sweat and tears. I really connected with the earth and it's seasonal cycles. My wish is to be cremated, can you tell?
