IM NOT HERE   - Dont  stand by my grave and  weep, for iam not there . Ido not sleep.Iam  a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamonds glint on snow . Iam sunlight on ripeaned grain. IAM the gentle autumns rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush, Iam the , I AM  the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in a cercle flight, Iam the soft stars that shine at night .DO not stand by my grave and cry .IAM NOT THER I DID NOT DIE .

Wolf Spirit. this is cool. reminds me of a song once I was singing..something about a union organizer who died violently. Joe Hill, I think. the chorus line was "I never died, said he". a cute story follows:
sitting by an open window on a summer nite, I lost track of the time as I practiced this song. I thought I sounded good my voice kept getting stronger and stronger I must have sang that tune 100 times, maybe 300 times; only another musician would understand the obsession to get it right. pretty soon I got a phone call. SHUT THAT HOWLING UP!
oh yea, I thought, that's right. my neighbors bedroom window was right near where I was howling 8) I got mad because we were fighting anyway. my lifestyle didn't fit in with what they thought it should be. so I ran to the window gleefully and sang out 2 more times I NEVER DIED! SAID HE! just before the cops arrived I turned out the light and they went away. moral of the story to stay on topic? we don't die! we just keep howling..but it might be better to howl without disturbing the slumber of your enemies necessarily.. later, I ended up retrieving the guy next door after he and his wife split up due to violence. I took him to a guide. all was well last time I checked. love, alysia

Thank you for the poem, wolfspirit,

I have always thought it was beautiful and love to hear it.
