Get zip-file of this set here. Feel free to find a more fitting poem or greeting to put here! Funeral Pyre Transparent, clear and hot, beautiful mantle, flare up, flow closely like water around my waiting body. I stand bound and still, I have no defiance to lose. I have no resistance any longer, no futile battle. So, in anguish without air, I gain the awaiting peace. All hope has ended here, wanting nothing else. As an aspen leaf my body, as a flicker my soul, and deep inside there I am still free. A great silence moves me beyond everything which destroys me. ~Author: Karin Boye ~     Copyright Vetteljus.
