Seaside, pungent earthy smells..
wrap my dead body in an effervescent cloak.
life breathing into me, I  begin to float,
supernatural universe has claimed my thirsty soul,
life and its distractions have taken their toll.

Give way to unrelenting primordial yearnings
follow the seagull, the oriole and blue herons,
dance with the wind, for I am Karen.
Not a care in this world, I am free..
to laugh and explore and just be me.
