To John
John, You worked with the earth, You acknowledged the earth, You were one with the earth.
For John:
Wash me with the scent of meadow grass,
Anoint me with the essence of sheep's wool,
Fill my veins with pollen from green fields,
Envelop me with freshly mown meadow hay.
Rest me in moss velvet earth,
Cover me with soil flavoured of pine and the silent Being of my dog.
Cathy (Catherine) Brown, Hamilton
