Scatter me
you said
to the Four Winds
that I might fly
at last
deepest wish
and strongest fear
you said
that I may mingle
in laughter, tears
words of truth
and foolishness
you said
that I might visit
close and far
wide and near
simultaneously
with different particles
of my Self
you said
that in Death
I be what I was in Life
a lingering Flame
at once important
and
insignificant
