Still With You

Don’t linger in the quiet stone
Where shadows say I’m gone.
I released my soul into the air
Before the break of dawn.

I learned to travel differently
No footprints, no goodbyes.
I traded the weight of body
And walls for open skies.

If you listen past the silence
If you soften all your fears.
You will feel me moving closer;
I was never far from here.

I’m the breath between the seasons.
I’m the firefly at night.
I’m the shimmer on the river;
When the moon shines silver light.

I’m the warmth you feel at sunrise;
When the dark has had its say.
I didn’t leave you, I just changed;
I’m with you in a thousand different ways.

I’m the calm after the thunder.
I’m the spark inside the flame.
When the world feels heavyhearted;
And your tears begin to fall.
I am holding every moment;
I am bigger than it all.

Every ending is a doorway.
Every loss a hidden chapter;
Where the love you think is broken
Turns into a deeper dream.

I’m the breath between the seasons.
I’m the firefly at night.
I’m the shimmer on the river;
When the moon shines silver light.

I’m the warmth you feel at sunrise;
When the dark has had its say.
I didn’t leave you, I just changed;
I’m with you in a thousand different ways.

Say my name into the starlight;
Let it rise, don’t let it ache.
What you loved was never buried;
It was only reshaped.

I am motion, I am echo.
I am yes where there was no.
I am every place you are going;
And every place you know.

So don’t stand frozen by the silence.
Don’t bow your head and pray.
This is not the end you’re facing;
I am here, I always stay.

I’m the love that keeps on breathing.
I’m the warmth that won’t decay.
I didn’t die. I multiplied.
And found a thousand ways to be with you.

When you feel the world lean gently;
And your heart remembers why.
That’s not memory; that’s presence.
That’s me, passing by.
