Robert Hunter gave this to Bob Weir for the India trip
Last Words for Jerry Garcia
Go naked in the world,
wind for your cloak and coverlet.
Whom the Gods love best
they reward with early death,
gather them into the sun,
reflect them in moonlight,
crown them with comets,
anoint them with shooting stars.
Go naked to the Throne of Love,
go as the stars go,
arrayed in their own
incandescent light.
Go and our hearts go with you.
Return to the source of the soul
by way of the Sacred River,
royal road to the sea
where all shall be music
and dreams shall be dreams
no more, but visions
of the World's foundation
scattered among the stars.
Dust shall be dust
and the voice of dust
shall be music,
pleasing to God
who sent it forth
in search of melody
to crown His silence
with eternal song.
