wow, this is gorgeous. That last stanza is so haunting! Wanna go to the amazon with me and be shamans?

I know, isn't it?! I was trying to find poems about the afterlife and came across this gem. Yes, I most certainly do want to go to the amazon and become a shaman with you. how's, say...tomorrow sound?

I hope you don't mind me adding a comment. I saw you on the astrology LJ.
I really love this poem and I'm adding it to my memories, if you do not mind.
I'm glad I came across it!

No way, I don't mind at all. I'm glad you came across it and loved it! It's one of my favorites.
