SEND OFF

To those who wish their ‘eulogies to be symphonies’.

I want my eulogy,

To be a symphony.

My deeds acclimatized,

Into perfect sheet music.

I want it played,

Or rather lulled.

No words spoken,

No heads sulked.

 

Just notes upon notes,

That all make flawless sense.

They combine in a harmony,

That edges on intense.

I want the Thunder,

And His mate the Wind,

To deliver an interlude,

Worthy of a King.

 

A moment of silence,

During which.

The music speaks.

And smiles are seen.

I want nods of approval,

As the orchestra culminate.

Swells the music to a point,

Then leaves, with no fade.

 

I want such a funeral.

Where sad is the last feeling,

That people will remember.

But rather elation and satisfaction,

From a great musical number.

The words just flow through seamlessly and give such clear and crisp imagery as well
"I want the Thunder,

And His mate the Wind,

To deliver an interlude,

Worthy of a King."

-Fantastic lines that show the mastery of a truly skilled poet. You deserve a standing ovation!

[Coyote Poetry]

I like your goal of a musical number when it is time for you to leave this world. I want a similar death. I desire no sadness. A good life need a good ending. Not tears and sadness. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

I felt that maybe this also symbolises how life should be...just like music....Our funeral represents how we lived...full of elation, satisfied and loved. I like this piece. Thank you for sharing.

[lifesmith]

brilliant as always...but I didn't get the hidden message :(
funerals don't always have to be sad, don't mourn my passing, celebrate my life and achievements :)
