I am a thousand winds that blow

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 glint on the snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle rain.
When you waken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave.
I am not there.
I did not die.
For everything beautiful that you see
will bring a memory of me.

1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye.
In loving memory of Noël.

Yours truly

  2. This post has stayed in my mind since first viewed, but is so beautifully profound I couldn’t find the words to comment. A culmination and release.
