When the hour of death approaches,

Take me deep into the forest spheres

And lay me down under the vast canopy of leaves,

There to cast powerful magick one last time.



All becomes bright and clear,

The veil is torn asunder one last time.

Revelations of colour and light

As body and spirit set out on the ultimate trip.



By the power of sheer will

I navigate billions and billions of particles of self

Into the eternal and everlasting void,

Where they become one with the things that are,

Where they create universe after universe,

Where they dissolve in the tides of worlds

And make worlds anew without number.



Through the veins of the tree,

Through the blood of the beast,

Within the streams of brooks, rivers, and oceans,

In the fluids of mycelia and funghi,

In pebble, rock, and mountain tall

I float adrift!



With ravaged bodies and open hearts

We welcome you,

Oh death, the chemistry of life.
