Remember Me
By Keltiad
Remember Me
When breath at last leaves me,
Do not sorrow and cry
For it comes to all, the time to die.
At this time please heed my wish
Call to the bird, animal and fish.
For these are the creatures I hold most dear
And when they come, know I will be near.
For burn my remains and scatter them well,
From hilltop high and deep in fell.
This I ask of those close to me,
Give me peace and set me free.
To all here gathered blessed be you
And go with my memory ever with you.
Do not weep at this my demise,
For again I will come in different guise.
With call from the hawk, again will I walk
Under oak and beech with stag and deer,
I will come and again be near
So listen to the voices that sing in the wild,
And I know I walk as nature’s child
