Rosary made of Rosemary

Save me through cremation
Not with mother earth
Ascend me towards my father
And his cloud of caskets
Lined in silver silk
 
Where I will be  
Dead asleep  
With a hidden door  
Beneath my scented pillow
From my Rosary  
Made of Rosemary
 
With its  
Needle like leaves
That threaded  
Into my spirit
From countless  
Prayers and songs
 
Make my ebony hair
Strong and radiant
Help it continue to grow
Braid and weave it like
Enchanted unbreakable rope
 
Open the door  
Beneath my pillow
From the afterlife
Extend long enough
Towards my greatest love
Who doesn’t quite believe
 
Guide him
Show him
The way home

I didn't realize rosemary was so great for your hair. Just thought I'd try something
a little darker and romantic. hahaha!
