When I Die - Tumblr Posts
One day I'll wander through meadows green,
Where woods are calm and skies serene,
And all my battles, cares, and pain,
Shall fade like dreams; half-lost, half-gained.
When a distant howl, soft but clear,
Echoing through mist, and drawing near.
I wonder where my old dogs roam,
When from the trees, they race back home.
Each faithful friend, long since gone,
Returns to me, as if no dawn
Had ever risen without their sight,
Leading hosts of hounds of pure white.
Their ears are red, their eyes aglow,
And with them comes a shadowed flow;
A rider tall, with knowing grace,
I fear his gaze, yet see his face.
"You know me, don't you?" soft, he speaks,
My heart is light, my memory weak.
No path behind, no end ahead,
No purpose clear, no words unsaid.
I smile at him, no fear to show,
"Yes, my lord, I know you so."
For this is Gwyn, the final guide,
Who leads us where the spirits bide.
When I die, I want one of two things to happen to my corpse.
1: Donated to science. I'm dead whatever happens to my body is no longer my problem.
2: Airdrop my corpse into the forest and let the creatures consume me
I can never decide if when I die I want people to throw my body into the woods where I can decompose and let the mushrooms overtake me, or have my body be used in a way where it wouldn’t be wasted, like donated to science or eaten or made into leather or something. Both sound very appealing to me for some reason
