Passages. My Creative Challenge Entry. An Epitaph.

TRIPLES with EMMA

Artist Kathy Ostman-Magnusen

I found this beautiful image whilst surfing the net for interesting images and as I looked at it from the perspective of a writer, I felt compelled to write a verse about it as there was so much that the painting wanted to elicit from inside of me.

Cheers Milli.

My attempt is here:

Passages.

 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I have left this mortal sphere

This final passage, I am the dust

 

This was my souls journey

My life on this mortal plane

Now ended is this earthly passage for me

 

It is my legacy to my kin whom I have now left

That you are entrusted with my ashes, so please feel peace

Because I know in your sincere hearts, you are surely bereft

 

As a baby girl child I entered

This earthly garden of hopes, dreams and desires

All in good faith though I was eternally flawed

 

I carried the burdens of those before

And the dreams of those to come

Relationships were to be my metaphor

 

They taught me understanding and love

That my own special being was a glorious gift

And those held near and dear were all sent from above.

 

What was so special and held close by heart

Will now be left blessed by my legacy of love

As for this time being, we shall dwell apart

 

This was my souls journey

My life on this mortal plane

Now ended is this earthly passage for me

 

Passages of life as child, woman then mother

Of the nurtured the nurturing and the external struggles

Lives lived fruitfully, deservedly, with one another.

 

Don't be sad as I now sleep in my heaven above

Remember my struggles, my triumphs and indomitable Spirit

In the golden glow of surrender to Light, Peace and Love.

 

This was my souls journey

My life on this mortal plane

Now ended is this earthly passage for me
