Don't Look For Me Up In The Stars

by cassie hughes   Oct 8, 2024


Don’t look for me up in the stars
Or mourn beside my grave
These places bear no home for me
Now from this life I’m saved

My ruined body shall decay
Within this earth so sweet
For natures fine reward will be
My final loving gift

I ask that you forget my name
Don’t speak of me at all
For in that silence I can rest
From world’s intrusive thrall

The unrelenting press of life
And obligations bound
Will fall away to leave me free
Untethered from this ground
