When I die, my atoms will come undone

ghosts in the garden at sunset, Palace De Versailles, France

When I die,

my atoms will come undone.

I’ll be space dust, once again.

                     

The wind will carry me,

and scatter me everywhere,

like dandelions in springtime

                     

I’ll visit worlds and alien moons,

it will be so damn poetic-

until I land on your sandwich.

I do not know the author of this poem, I've searched the internet over, please if you know or find the source, share it here. I would love to acknowledge the source. These photographs were taken in the Garden of Versailles on a magical day.

One of my friends asked "What will you do when you land on my sandwich?"

I replied,  "I will nourish you, be swallowed up and go into your inner world, where I will burst into flames, and become one with you and all the Universe."

Chloë Rain

Chloë Rain is a Spiritual guide whose work is deeply rooted in the initiatory cycles of nature, after more than a decade of of ceremonial practice within South and North American medicine lineages — and graduate research while living above the Arctic Circle exploring sacred landscape and Indigenous cosmology through a Master’s degree in Indigenous Studies — her work now continues from a small island in the Cyclades in the heart of the Aegean Sea.

Through her writing and work she hopes to inspire more people to listen to their soul’s calling, and cause them to look a little closer at themselves, at the natural environment that surrounds them, and at other people and our beliefs of separation, race, culture, and religion.

She offers one-to-one spiritual direction for those navigating profound change, life transitions, and soul realignment.
