LOVE BEYOND DEATH

When I die, I want your hands on my eyes
I want the light and heat of your beloved hands
to pass the freshness over me once more.
I want to feel the softness that changed my destiny
I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep,
I want to your ears still to hear the wind, I want you
to sniff the sea's aroma that we loved together,
to continue to walk on the sand we walk on
I want what I love continue to live,
and you whom I love and sang above everything else
to continue to flourish, full flowered.
so that you can reach everything my love directs you to
so that my shadow can travel along in your hair
so that everything can learn the reason for my song.
