Epitaph

Description

Please don't stand here at my grave and weep.

I am not here. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow:

I am the diamond's glint on snow.

I am the sun on ripened grain;

I am the gentle Autumn rain.

When you awake in morning's hush.

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of silent birds in circled flight.

I am the stars that shine each night.

So don't stand here and softly cry.

And mourn me not... I did not die.
