<br>Light the candles and burn the incense around my bed, and <br>Scatter leaves of jasmine and roses over my body; <br>Embalm my hair with frankincense and sprinkle my feet with perfume, <br>And read what the hand of Death has written on my forehead. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Let me rest in the arms of Slumber, for my open eyes are tired; <br>Let the silver-stringed lyre quiver and soothe my spirit; <br>Weave from the harp and lute a veil around my withering heart. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Sing of the past as you behold the dawn of hope in my eyes, for <br>It's magic meaning is a soft bed upon which my heart rests. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Dry your tears, my friends, and raise your heads as the flowers <br>Raise their crowns to greet the dawn. <br>Look at the bride of Death standing like a column of light <br>Between my bed and the infinite; <br>Hold your breath and listen with me to the beckoning rustle of <br>Her white wings. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Come close and bid me farewell; touch my eyes with smiling lips. <br>Let the children grasp my hands with soft and rosy fingers; <br>Let the ages place their veined hands upon my head and bless me; <br>Let the virgins come close and see the shadow of God in my eyes, <br>And hear the echo of His will racing with my breath. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"></div><div style="margin:10px 0">Part Two - The Ascending</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>I have passed a mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the <br>Firmament of complete and unbound freedom; <br>I am far, far away, my companions, and the clouds are <br>Hiding the hills from my eyes. <br>The valleys are becoming flooded with an ocean of silence, and the <br>Hands of oblivion are engulfing the roads and the houses; <br>The prairies and fields are disappearing behind a white specter <br>That looks like the spring cloud, yellow as the candlelight <br>And red as the twilight. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>The songs of the waves and the hymns of the streams <br>Are scattered, and the voices of the throngs reduced to silence; <br>And I can hear naught but the music of Eternity <br>In exact harmony with the spirit's desires. <br>I am cloaked in full whiteness; <br>I am in comfort; I am in peace. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"></div><div style="margin:10px 0">Part Three - The Remains</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Unwrap me from this white linen shroud and clothe me <br>With leaves of jasmine and lilies; <br>Take my body from the ivory casket and let it rest <br>Upon pillows of orange blossoms. <br>Lament me not, but sing songs of youth and joy; <br>Shed not tears upon me, but sing of harvest and the winepress; <br>Utter no sigh of agony, but draw upon my face with your <br>Finger the symbol of Love and Joy. <br>Disturb not the air's tranquility with chanting and requiems, <br>But let your hearts sing with me the song of Eternal Life; <br>Mourn me not with apparel of black, <br>But dress in color and rejoice with me; <br>Talk not of my departure with sighs in your hearts; close <br>Your eyes and you will see me with you forevermore. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Place me upon clusters of leaves and <br>Carry my upon your friendly shoulders and <br>Walk slowly to the deserted forest. <br>Take me not to the crowded burying ground lest my slumber <br>Be disrupted by the rattling of bones and skulls. <br>Carry me to the cypress woods and dig my grave where violets <br>And poppies grow not in the other's shadow; <br>Let my grave be deep so that the flood will not <br>Carry my bones to the open valley; <br>Let my grace be wide, so that the twilight shadows <br>Will come and sit by me. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Take from me all earthly raiment and place me deep in my <br>Mother Earth; and place me with care upon my mother's breast. <br>Cover me with soft earth, and let each handful be mixed <br>With seeds of jasmine, lilies and myrtle; and when they <br>Grow above me, and thrive on my body's element they will <br>Breathe the fragrance of my heart into space; <br>And reveal even to the sun the secret of my peace; <br>And sail with the breeze and comfort the wayfarer. </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Leave me then, friends - leave me and depart on mute feet, <br>As the silence walks in the deserted valley; <br>Leave me to God and disperse yourselves slowly, as the almond <br>And apple blossoms disperse under the vibration of Nisan's breeze. <br>Go back to the joy of your dwellings and you will find there <br>That which Death cannot remove from you and me. <br>Leave with place, for what you see here is far away in meaning <br>From the earthly world. Leave me.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Khalil+Gibran">Khalil Gibran</a><div class=q>

Let me sleep, for my soul is intoxicated with love and 
Let me rest, for my spirit has had its bounty of days and nights; 
Light the candles and burn the incense around my bed, and 
Scatter leaves of jasmine and roses over..."></div>
