falling leaves

Leaves fell to the ground 

as I buried you 

it covered your body 

and lifted you up into the sky 

and slowly you became a part of the universe 

and the sky began to weep and rejoice 

and envelop you in the great spirit 

the wolfs howl at the moon 

and sound off your arrival 

the birds gather around 

and fly high in the sky to lead the way 

sunflowers bow their heads in prayer begging god to safeguard your soul and turn you into a flower 

the heavens crack open and shine light 

and sing hymns of hope 

and yelling praises 

angels widen their wings 

and open the gates of heaven 

and envelop you 

in gods open hands 

and gods shuts the gates of heaven 

and the moment ends 

and then the grief and sadness sinks in........
