I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
`Do not stand at my grave', Mary Frye (1932).

A beautiful poem. I miss Dr. Basu's posts.
A fun friend and blogger.
Thank you for the poem.
Over a year has passed. I miss Rahul and regret that our resumption of a very old friendship was so suddenly interrupted.
Thank you for a beautiful poem.
