Alone Time


koffy beach

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...

That's a very melancholic poem, of death of a loved one. If the dead can console the living over the inevitable, this would be it.

The poet by the way is MARY ELIZABETH FRYE.
