I Will Forever Whisper Your Name to the Night Sky

I will forever whisper your name
to the night sky,
as if the stars themselves might carry it
to where you are.

Each syllable a tremor,
each breath a bridge
between this trembling earth
and a world beyond my reach.

I wait for the wind’s reply,
a soft stirring in the dark,
the kind of silence
that feels like an answer.

You are gone,
yet the air still knows your shape,
the world still bends
around the space you left behind.

Because some loves
do not end.
They linger tenderly
in the spaces between heartbeats.

And I,
I will forever whisper your name
to the night sky,
and know
you will whisper back.

This is SO cool! 🍄

The first U.S. burial using a biodegradable mushroom coffin has taken place in Maine. The eco-friendly casket, called the Living Cocoon, is made from mycelium and was developed by Dutch company Loop Biotech. It naturally breaks down in about 45 days and enriches the soil. Mark Ancker was laid to rest in the mycelium coffin on his family’s land, honoring his wish for a natural burial. Instead of a headstone, his family planted a flower garden. This marks Loop Biotech’s U.S. debut after thousands of similar burials in Europe, reflecting the growing trend of sustainable end-of-life practices.
