Epitaph For A Wayfaring Soul
8 June, 2004
Author: Mark Spencer

vinebar

In life I strove to be a friend and neighbor.
I carried the burden of my ceaseless labor.

I held out both hands to my brothers in need.
While the wounds they inflicted continued to bleed.

Yet I did not hide, nor pull back my hand.
I asked for nothing, I never made a demand.

But now as I slumber, I make one request,
That you honor the soil in this place where I rest.

And rejoice in your heart for my soul’s rebirth.
As the body I wore returns to the Earth.
