Original Submission by Jorge Luis González Gordillo

When I die cremate my body

Throw the ashes in the wind

For I am of the earth

And wish the earth to be of me.

Where the ashes fall

Might one day grow a flow’r,

Let it phoenix-like rise; bloom from me

And let then Mother Nature be

The one sharing my dower.
