My departure ( A Gift for Mother Earth)

My death will not be without worth.

Birds will sing in celebration.

Dogs will howl in recognition.

The earth will proudly let me go.

I am now greater,

for I was God,

and as God they knew me.

The Earth will express her love,

for I have given my flesh as a gift. 

And my love for all she is.

was engraved within me.

I became food for the scavengers.

I fertilized brother tree.

For this, nature will always hold my image

within her eternal mind.

What a worthful death. 

A full expression of my gratitude.

A death that brings life.

A death worthy of recreation.

A gift to my mother earth. 

And a transformation from my liquid self

to the clouds above, 

for I was made of that which I consumed.

So I gave of myself, so as to rise 

as all liquids do. 

What a worthy death for the Son of the Sun

The brother of the trees. 

The cousin of the air,

and the father of the life I helped bring forth.

What a worthy death.
