The Last Rite
You’d said your goodbyes.
You knew it was time
for nature to reclaim
your body,
your bones
and your flesh.
But not your spirit,
nature left that behind.
And that spirit will grow here in us,
not like funeral flowers fading,
but bright like those in nature
each living in its own season
with its own natural rituals,
triggered by time, place,
thoughts and memories
which live on beyond you.
And that is enough,
that feels right.
