Bury Me Deep

Johnathan Lane 1987 (South Dakota)

Free Verse
Bury me Deep, where lilacs bloom,
Beneath the oak trees' shade;
And there you'll set my spirit free,
From all it's worldly cares.
No more pain, no more suffering,
No more cause for crying;
For I shall lay where songbirds sing,
Their loving lullabies.

    This 'Bury Me Deep' poem is incredibly beautiful and evocative. The imagery of lilacs blooming and songbirds singing creates a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The message of releasing one's spirit from earthly worries is comforting and poignant.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to explore the theme of letting go even further. Perhaps delve into the idea of finding solace in the natural world and the cyclical nature of life and death. Additionally, consider incorporating more vivid sensory details to fully immerse the reader in the scene.

    Overall, this poem is a touching and heartfelt reflection on finding peace in the afterlife. Keep up the great work!
