Humans die, we all do
Then it’s time for burial
Returning from where
We came too

A body made of elements
Back to elements we go
The choice of how
Is already made for you

Some by fire
Burn away sins,
Only Ash
to remember you by

Some in water
Going with the
flow of life
Till the bitter end

A few through sky & air
Becoming food
To replenish the natural world
As it once did you

And many more still
Who are laid to rest
In the lap of Earth
And bidden goodbyes

But no matter what
Burial you recieve
You were here and you have lived
Death is just yet another beginning.
