I am with you still - I do not sleep.

of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starts that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn.

I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

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 cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

that what is the need to look back again and again?
He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.
