Will you go to heaven when you die? - (or the other place)
hmmmm, I think the other place, like.....a hole in the ground!
I'm planning to go for a swim. (sort of)

Title: Pour My Ashes
Track Time: 04:00 / BPM: 68
VS 1
Pour my ashes from the Narrows Bridge
Hear my bones splash in the water
Facing southwest -
see the breeze blow the fine dust
Gray clouds dancing in the sun
In the dead of winter -
I'll have darkness and silence
Summer's boats will hum up above
In time I'll find my way -
to rest below the birches -
in front of the home of my youth
I'll dream of watching - the sailing regatta
Colored sails against the sky so blue
And when the Lord returns -
I'll pull myself together -
to meet all the saints in the air

After a relative passed away, the family sprinkled the ashes at the trunk and roots of a newly planted tree. We each were allowed to take a handful of ash to sprinkle or spread below the tree. This got me to thinking about what I might want done with my ashes. The lyrics of this song muse about my ashes being poured into the lake from a bridge near the home of my youth. So that I could find my way to rest below the birches in front of my childhood home. I imagine my conscious presence being with the ashes until the Lord returns when I pull myself together to meet the saints in the air. lol
