When It Was His Time

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come. – Rabindranath Tagore

When it was his time,
whenever it was 
God decided,
the old man just wanted
his ashes to decorate
a warm blue sea.
Where a fish 
might drink him
and a bird
might take the fish
for a flight.

Into
the warm blue sky.
