Do not stand at my grave and 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 sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
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.
Mary Elizabeth Frye
(1905-2004)

Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time
When wasteful war shall statues overturn
And broils roots out the work of masonry
Nor mars his sword nor war's quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory
'Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth, your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom
So, till judgement that yourself arise
You in this, and dwell in lovers' eyes
William Shakespeare
...when the soul lies down in that grass...

June's Picture:z58:
Let me paint June's picture - first I take some gold
Fill the picture full of sun - all that it can hold
Save some for the butterflies darting all around
And some more for buttercups here upon the ground
Take a lot of baby-blue - this - to make the sky
With a lot of downy white - soft clouds floating by
Cover all the ground with green - hang it from the trees
Sprinkle it with shiny white - neatly as you please
So, a million daisies spring up everywhere
Surely you can see now what is in the air
Here's a thread of silver that's a little brook
To hide in dainty places where only children look
Next, comes something - guess - it grows
Among green hedges - it's the rose
Brown for a bird to sing a song
Brown for a road to walk along
Then add some happy children to the fields and flowers and skies
And so you have June's picture here before your eyes

trên bước em về chiều nay
có giọt mưa rơi trên má
lăn vào môi em rất lạ
tròn xanh một nỗi nhớ đầy
anh đang mơ gì bên ấy
buổi chiều có ướt chân quen
dốc rêu đá còn giận lẫy
ngã nhào gã nhân tình quên
trái tim hôm nào đánh rớt
đi tìm mắt đã cay chưa?
nụ hôn đêm nào đánh mất
đi tìm môi đã lạnh chưa?
tóc ướt / anh ơi / áo ướt
ướt chiều / ướt cả hồn em
tay anh không là chiếc lược
gỡ tình sợi rối trong em
...till you return and until your way is clear...*

You're half a world away, standing next to me
It seems that every day, I'm losing you almost invisibly
Though you are near, I can't reach that far
Across to where you are and so you stay
Just half a world away
And I would cross the universe for you
What good would it do if you weren't even there?
Till you return and until your way is clear
I will be here, not half a world away
You're half a world away and no one is to blame
If love outlives its day and turns into an ember from a flame
I love you as before till words will be no more
Till I can't find a way to where you stay
Just half a world away
And I would cross the universe for you
But what good would it do if you weren't even there?
Till you return and until your way is clear
I will be here, not half a world away
