When the time comes Bury me beneath my favourite tree No casket. No shroud Let my body touch the earth Let me feed the worms and insects Let me seep into the soil I will travel up tree roots Nourish lush green leaves When seeds scatter in the wind Particles of my soul will float on the breeze I will return to the earth To sprout new trees. New life I will go on forever Because you buried me beneath My favourite tree.
