Grant me the courage
To unclothe the wants
And ephemeral desires 
To break from the chains
That bears me to the world

Offer me the simple life
The minimalistic comfort
A two square meals
With a modest garden
To grow and to rear

Hand me the tranquil life
A quiet cabin
Beside a stream
Of fresh water
In the pine woods

Pass me a library
Of thought provoking books 
Carefully picked by readers
Books that challenge 
The notions of existence

Give me a cozy niche
Beside a hearth
Where I can compose
And unwind
This torpedo of thoughts

And when my time is done
Cremate my body
Let the wind take me
Leave not a grave 
In my memory
