I Am Not There

[barush]

When I was in England (like 2 months ago) we stopped at some church, in Liverpool I guess, and from some strange reason I went to its shop. I'm not 'believer' in any way so it must have been my curiosity what lead me there. I didn't have any intentions to buy something at first, but I saw them:) There were those little card prayers which you can keep with yourself anywhere you go:) I went through them and bought one I liked the most. It's kinda sad but still beautiful:) I thought I'd share.

I Am Not There

Do not stand at
my grave & weep
I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand
winds that blow
I am the diamond
glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
on rippled grain
I am he gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in
the morning's hush
I am the uplifting rush
of quiet birds
on circled flight.
I am the stars that
shine at night .
Do not stand
at my grave and cry.
I am not there,
I did not die.

I was thinking about writing a fan fic when I first read it and maybe I'll do it someday. But if anyone is inspired by this, go ahead:) there's never enough good (*cough* CSI *cough*) fan fics:)
