"What do you want on your Tombstone?" Part II
Anonymous
Poetry Contest Description
Write an Epitaph based on what you would want on your own tombstone. An epitaph is a brief poem inscribed on a tombstone praising a deceased person, usually with rhyming lines, but for this challenge, please read the details below!*
*Since the last one was so popular, I have decided to run this competition yet again! This time though, the epitaph can be any amount of lines, but it can be about only one of the following different twists: it can be about what you will miss in this life, or what you'd take with you if you could take anything along with you to the afterlife, or any unfinished business you had while still alive! (it can be about any one particular choice, or you can mix them all up into one) Good Luck! 
I'll pick a winner and runner up in about one month!

a habitual dreamer
a biased sangoma
to the ways of blood works and sonars
her ethereal existence forever shared
with the next in line to extend the care
her mortal shell lies in these grounds
long abandoned, her soul has no bounds
dances to the muted sounds
that are sparked by those who once did hound
pssst....you, who these lines do read
sprinkle here some water from the Nile's deep
tonight she feasts
and with Haides she sleeps....
