Sweet Mead

Always there is life which, rightly lived, implies a divine satisfaction. - Thoreau

cut me

do i not bleed

deny me

do i not need

plant me

is that not a seed

pray me

is that not a creed

wave goodbye

wish me god's speed

build me a foundation

grant  me a deed

raise a glass to the heavens

please,

i beg of you,

do it with sweet mead

Author's Note

"Any prospect of awakening or coming to life to a dead man makes indifferent all times and places. The place where that may occur is always the same, and indescribably pleasant to all our senses." - Thoreau
