When I am ready to make my final farewell,
please wrap me up in mauve silk scarves,
surrender my body to the smokey ebony skies,
pour my soul over the Pacific from an alabaster bowl,
flavor me as you might a fine stir fried rice,
hum an OM reverently for my journey;
or blend my spirit with sweet coastal sage scents
mixed with lavender and honeysuckle,
bang the drums loudly, flaunt the flutes,
dance and laugh...
for Life is much too short,
no matter how long one gets to live.

    that would be the way to do it
         i have not heard that (om)
       since the 60's, college students,
         using others as human rats
             brings back a memory
       someone said, yea she looks like
           a  big purple grape
                 after being set up
              for rape
                then years later hearing
             aged like a fine whine  
                  some people need to have done to them as they have done to others
         experiments,  human genome project
            secret societies
                 all seem to just take
            away the goodness so what they predict,  beast shall win    sorry if this got off tract.  sometimes things just come out.  any way  nice writing

Life is way to short, and you have the right idea....

Life is a gift in every form of time and space.
Wear your mauve silk scarves now and enjoy them, lovely.
