May the calm be widespread
May the ocean glisten as greenstone
May the shimmer of light ever dance across your pathway
I have collected a selection of poems and readings you may like to use during a ceremony, I hope you will find something suitable. I intend to add more regularly.
May the calm be widespread
May the ocean glisten as greenstone
May the shimmer of light ever dance across your pathway
Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I’ll be close to you.
It won’t be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Just wish me to be near you,
And I’ll be there with you.
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
I would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why
My heart still aches with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you’ll always stay
I am not afraid of death nor of dying
I do not consider it where I’m concerned
I just accept that it will arrive in its own due time
Death, supposedly the most terrifying ill, is nothing to me
When you are alive, it doesn’t exist,
for it is not here, has not occurred,
is neither tangible nor foreseeable
When it arrives, it is nothing – it merely implies I don’t exist
The living have it and the dead know nothing of it
It is no more a swing door between being and ceasing to be
It is not an event as part of life
It is an entity of its own
So long as I lived it was non existent
Don’t think of her as gone away,
her journey’s just begun,
Life holds so many facets,
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting,
from the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days or years.
Think how she must be wishing,
that we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness,
can really pass away.
And think of her as living,
in the hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost,
and she was loved so much.
