May your starlight return to the cosmic fire,
Where galaxies sing in a radiant choir.
May you rise beyond this earthly plane,
Alive in memory, relieved of pain.
.
The spark you gave us we cradle with grace,
The world forever bearing your trace.
Not just your leaving, but how you came—
Etched in our bones. Known by name.
.
May our grief soften beneath your glow,
As your laughter echoes in the stars we know.
And may we meet again on the celestial plane,
All of us stardust. All of us flame.
.
These words are for those we have lost to pain, illness, or suffering in all its forms.
