I Did Not Die

To my best friend-Torrence who died at 12 years old in a car crash...
~* I Did Not Die *~

Do not stand at my grave and forever 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 soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
