Funeral Poem For An Artist

Go on with the day,
go on with the night,
enjoy the riches
life has to offer.

Look for the brightest colours,
sun sparkling on the lake, the sea,
or turning rain drops
into daily diamonds.

Listen to the stories
the old trees tell in hushing voices,
the rushing sounds of ocean waves -

all is alive,
all dances on through time and space,
so find the highest taste
in all things
on your journey
into love.

And should you think of me,
think of me dragon free
upon the endless plains,
immersed in a new story,
in deepest fascination playing,
worlds of music, magic, art,
just Silvia,
doing Silvia things,
and smiling.
