Well done Lea, these are difficult to write and make them credible, one of the things with these is to make them speak loudly and with either sugar or venom, well done, blessings Roy

The picture says alot. Good choice for poem. I like the words you used. Tbey are profoud. Both my parents were cremated. They wanted us to do it that way. I would rather they were buried.

I can't say that cremation is bad. Only one time in the bible was it mentioned. So, it wouldn't be sinful to be cremated. Urns are smaller than caskets. You have expressed yourself very well. Great effort.

Hi Lea.
This is a good mix of words and artwork. It is hard to figure out which came first. I like the metaphor in the second line.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Holidays.

Comment from Lana Marie
This is the way so many people choose for their end of life wishes. We just had to cremate my stepson who is 36 years old. He passed away October 1 unexpectedly of a heart attack and to split the ashes between my husband and his ex-wife. He's in an urn sitting on a bookshelf.
It's a little surreal, knowing that he was once a whole person. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from kahpot
I think I am reading that no matter if we choose to be buried or cremated
our souls will reach God and heaven, maybe if we are cremated our souls will no longer be scarred, but cleansed, beautifully presented, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Thank you very much. I'm really pleased that you like it. And your insight, as always, is spot on. Thank you for hanging out and reading and offering you awesome thoughts. I'm giving that great writing and I hope that you have a great evening!
Comment from karenina
Hmmmm. This makes a statement! Without punctuation I'm wondering if you meant the souls were not scarred due to fire, hence had freedom to enter Heaven...
Or were souls scarred through the release, by fire, to enter heaven?
Or were scarred souls purified by fire and thus entered heaven?
(Or am I thinking too much, she smiled)
Each meaning could be valid and maybe you are content with this being interpreted as the reader feels it should be...
I keep thinking Souls' (possessive) works, but hey, that's my take.
Any way it's interpreted it is not to be soon forgotten, so good luck in the contest!

That makes perfect sense and is what I believe as well. Thanks!
Comment from Colorado Owl
I like to think that heaven awaits on the other side of most cremations, and that is when we'll be given everlasting freedom. Thank you for your poem - well done.

A deep thought-provoking poem. The author's words are clear, descriptive and creative. The first two line flow and connect well.
The last line says it all! The artwork is perfect and compliments the
words and theme of this poem.
