A Personal Ending Preference

Let the wind blow away

My ashes to where

They've never been before

What's in store

For my remains

After this bountiful journey

Ends during the peaceful memorial of

A Personal Ending Preference

As serene like solace

Comforting my soul

My contribution towards helping

The earth's ongoing display

Of civilization's obsession

With a greater tomorrow

Rather than cherishing

A better yesterday

Remains forever in a day

Within the minds

Of a million or more inhabitants

Who've benefited from my existence

Even after my tenure

Has passed away

With my own inhibitions

Making it into

The Hall Of Fame For Philanthropists

Author's Note

I wanted to write a profound type of poem. I just had an itch to do so. All reviews are welcome. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy. :)

I think you achieved profound. It's very thought provoking. The older we get we tend to think about what legacy we wish to leave behind, but I don't think we truly give it that much though until we are forced to. This was beautifully done.

i really enjoyed this whole first section! it caught me and kept my attention:
"Let the wind blow away
My ashes to where
They've never been before
What's in store
For my remains
After this bountiful journey
Ends during the peaceful memorial of
A Personal Ending Preference"
i haven't really thought about cremation or burial, but this piece gives that idea a whole other dimension! i personally (if i were to be cremated) would want my ashes scattered in a place that i've never been before because travelling is so important to me that i'd like even my dead body to continue to explore the world where i hadn't had the chance to step foot. i really enjoyed this piece!

This reminds me of relatives that have passed away through the last few years...very thoughtful and well-put :)

This is a wonderful aspiration - to do so much good in the world that this is how we are remembered. Nicely penned!
