10.12.22 // Rosemary

Bury me in a bed of rosemary.
.
Surround me with her sticky leaves that are prickly yet soft, fragrant yet intricate, delicate yet strong.
.
Send me off with lavender in my hair.
.
Delicate flowers and stems weave into my mane and lull me into calm, pulling me into the deepest slumber.
.
Decorate me with sage and basil.
.
Let the smell of my memories on earth dance sweetly on my nose and tongue, leaving me salivating and craving the familiar touch of this realm.
.
Returning to Mother Nature, surrounded by her most divine smells, tastes, and feelings, I'll transcend, and with every trace of rosemary, lavender, sage, or basil, that tickles your nose, I'll be there with you even as I dance in the universe in my great repose.
