Reflect on the flowers that highlight the Earth , the fire in a lovers heart ... Bread upon the altar for poet and poetess that passed before my time ... Pray for peace , hope eternal and love for all mankind .... Place my remains upon a pyre fueled with yellow Pine ..... I pray that my ash and smoke , will ride upon the Eastern Wind ..... Over cotton field and pecan grove enroute to tranquil sea...To be carried over Blue Ridge Mountain , sorghum field and meandering creek ...... Over man made impoundments of West Point , Allatoona and Lanier ..... To Columbus and Albany , over peanut estate and cornfield , farmhouse , silo and pond......Through Apple orchard in Ellijay and peach orchard in Locust Grove ... Through grape , muscadine and scuppernong arbor in McDonough , Monroe and Braselton ....Over Panola , Kennesaw , Blood and Stone Mountain....Across Chattahoochee , Flint , Savannah , Alcovy and Ocmulgee Rivers ....To be born , grow , flourish and love.. To mourn and to pass ..Over Georgia ..Β Β Forever !....
