Life and death are one, as the river and the sea are one.
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind
And to melt in the sun
What is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides
That it may rise, and expand, and seek its Goddess/Gods unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence
Shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountaintop,
Then shall you begin to climb.
And when the Earth has claimed your limbs,
Then shall you truly dance
From you so much love was spread
Everywhere you seemed to tread.
We'd like to think where ever you roam
In the new world you'll call it your home,
There'll be no more pain, no more ills,
No more of this life's bitter pills.
Forgive us if we're sad today ,
For you were loved and have gone away
Rest in Peace and Love Fern
