Staring at the horizon
Where the sea meets the sky
This is the place
Where I choose to die
When my spirit has left
Build me a pyre
Cast it out to sea
And set it on fire
I’ll challenge the sunset
In all its glory
And blaze like a star
With unearthly fury
The trumpets will sound
And fill the night air
The breeze will carry me
To the place where I stare

It's good to see you writing again. To pass in the manner of a viking I see. Cast to sea on a pyre and set afire. I always thought it a much more fitting end than other methods. There is something romantic about it. Something more dignified as well. I hope to see you writing again soon. Take care , Doug

yes this is certainly the way to die. similar to the hindu funeral ceremony i think, which would be my choice of funeral if i could have my own way. even though i'm not hindu the ritual is beautiful. and you've described something similar here, very good.
