Diamonds falling from the trees
as two days of snow
bright white to half gray
sits on the evergreen
to catch the third day's sun
splitting light
as they drop branch to branch
they remind me
why my father had his ashes
tossed into the ocean
why wait for the water
to wash you to the final
frothy waves
when you can be dumped into the big waters
and know you didn't have to wait
centuries to make it to the nearest beach
