    I too want to be freed on the endless waves of the sea someday. Very beautiful in simplicity.

    Oh, Angela, how poignant. That is how my husband and I want to go, into the Gulf of Mexico. Just lovely.

    This was lovely. We did the same with my grandparents ashes. Every time I walked past that spot I thought of them and believed I could hear them whispering to me. I loved your haiku a lot.
