A Simple Wish

Be it that I could sacrifice my life
to change your heart to understand the pain of many
and to realize their pain
is simply a reflection of your own

I could see no nobler a cause
I would stretch my throat toward you with love in my eyes
and with gladness in my heart
No fear of death would be present in that moment

For I know my life was given
so others could accept and feel their sorrows
The tears you shed after this day will warm my heart and feed my soul
They will be the well from which I will live on

Release me from this mortal chain
Free my conscious energy to float amongst all that I hold dear and near to me
Allow me to join the night sky
To become one with the nurturing Mother

Let my atoms spray across the mountains
and the vast plains
Joining the rivers as they flow to the deepest depths of the ocean
Set my energy free

Allow my fleshy companion to become one with the mud and dirt
To nurture the tree
that bears It's fruit for you to feed your body
and to strengthen your mind

Although you will not see me again
I will always be present
My blood will be one with the water you drink
My body will be one with the fruits and meats you eat
My soul will become one with all that you see
I will remain a part of you for eternity

My love, my compassion will unravel the walls built by your hate and anger
My light will shine through you
as you release your blade and it falls to the Earth
I give you my life on this day to help you see the love I have for you
This being the only gift I have to offer

Release me to release yourself
from the blindness you have that prevents you from accepting your true nature
That stops you from giving your soul the love
you so freely give to others

This is my simple wish
Make it quick and clean,
so that I will not suffer in my death
as I have in my life
