I Did Not Die

i hate how i make such short poems sorry people

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I did not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning rush, I am the up lifting rush of quiet birds of circling flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there.

I did not die.

The message behind the poem is questionable, but guess what? That's exactly how I like it. The imagery in this poem is amazing, and I can picture everything so clearly. "I am the gentle autumn rain" is a beautiful, beautiful line. I see leaves, and a soft rain pattering against the trees' branches. "Do not stand at my grave"- "I am not there." Wow, that message is powerful. Good write.
