of being into new circumstances
rather than becoming new yourself.

I am with you still - I do not sleep.

of quiet birds in circled flight.

Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn.

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.
