Bury my footprints so they cannot be traced,
Bury my head in the strength of your embrace,
Bury my pride with countless humilities,
Bury my stubbornness in the ebbing seas.

For all that has began must soon face an end,
A fate inescapable I may never contend,
A brief sense of permanence that puts me at ease,
Until a single moment I collapse to my knees.

Bury my soul which has endured so much,
Bury my heart beneath the bow of this crux,
Bury my dreams so naive and carefree,
All I will ask is that you don't bury me.
