do not stand at my grave and weepi am not there
i do not sleep
i am in a thousand winds that blow
i am the softly falling snow
i am the gentle showers of rain
i am the fields of ripening grain
i am in the morning hush
i am in the graceful rush
of beautiful birds in circling flight
i am the starshine of the night
i am in the flowers that bloom
i am in a quiet room
i am in the birds that sing
i am in each lovely thing
do not stand at my grave
and cry
i am not there
i
do
not
die

Beautiful serene image. Like a Tarot card.
Love this poem. It is very comforting, and I believe every word of it.
My mother has that poem in a frame next to her bed..she found it in a thrift shop and never knew the author..I just love it..its so soothing the reminder that we live on.
Beautiful.
"I am in each lovely thing". Indeed YOU are, I really believe that! Graceful poem.

Beautiful pre-Raphealite painting. And so is the fantastic poem, I share every thought in it. We are all alive!
oh, hello, celeste maia - so glad to see you've been by and left a note - i was thinking of you earlier - read something somewhere and it reminded me of you somehow - anyway, hope your day is glorious!
I hope you feel better soon! drink lots of fresh juices..I swear by those..better than pills..for fatique I usually mix orange juice with carrot...and at night if you can tolerate the taste..couple spoons of fresh beet juice.that will fix you right up!
oh, thanks marlene - gee - i need to run out and get some fresh beets NOW! thanks for coming by, girl!
