To end as gracefully
As the knowing
Questioned by those who understand
Won as solemn
Will shadowing
That which blinds us
Dimming gods for focus
In order to hold
Aye, remembered
Aye, fallacy of strength
Feeding the forgotten
A stone thrown upon the mound of once
But a marker for my cemetery
The yard of stood
No name shall you carve
Nor time
Please disregard place
For I call not to peace in death
I pray not for rest
Spread me upon the world
So that I can touch all that I missed
The sun itself
Cannot rise against a love as strong as I have found
Breathe me in as you wake
Aye, to become the air
Life
Be that my death
The legacy I leave
Choke upon me on cold days
Curse me in the rain
Allow me to cool you
Tickle your face
Let me dance among leaves
Wings flapping against me
In order to find a glide
Allow me
Regardless of temperature
To be breath
In my death

I also think that this poem would be the best way to describe a long-lost relative or someone you have dearly loved. I wish I could read this one to many of the people I have held close to my heart, and especially I wish I could make this song an anthem for me, because I've felt the same way about stuff like this, too.
I felt it is a bit of reincarnation that you have described in your piece. it makes think about the one who says to have a peaceful rest when the eleveth o'clock ring it is better to start a new life here on earth and forget the idea of doing any SINS. thanks you very much for your beautiful as it all true what you have written. GOOD LUCKS FOR MORE WRITINGS!!!
