I would like to see <br />A thousand flower grow over my breast <br />Upon the land where I am laid to rest <br />And thus loudly proclaim to the world <br />How deeply I loved the blue earth, <br />Its mountains, its rivers, <br />Its hills, its plains, its plateaus, <br />Its forest, its ocean, <br />Its skies, its opulence - <br />Its blessings that we call life <br />Short and colourful like a flower <br />That germinates on the earthly bower <br />Gifting us time, our glorious hour!<br /><br />Rajesh Thankappan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-epitaph-theme-of-an-earthly-traveler/
