He had told her Love would never die
Then his Soul fled to the Sky;
Leaving her abed with poignant cry
Sobbing dreams of frantic, "Why?"

In Dream he came to salve her mind
Heard only Hurt and Long Road wind
Through Forest bark and Justice blind
To Hope-star end, and Love-light find

Through Time and lack of Hope
The first word crept, she could cope
Turned into Trick, like Indian rope
Bring Hope-brides invite to elope.

"Stand by my grave for comfort sake,
now you know I am awake.
Not cold in the Ground as if asleep,
Part of God; so do not weep.

"Look for me in Sun's morning ray.
See me in the quiet of the day,
In the insect's busy drone
In your head when we're alone.

"Look for me in laughter bright.
Hear me in the quiet of night.
I am the gentle breeze upon face.
I am your strength to win the race.

"Hear me in the quiet of heart.
I did not die; we're not apart.
You're one with me and me with you
In love's quiet you'll know it's true.

"Look for me in Autumn's glint on leaves,
The chirp of bird song in the trees,
Sunlight on the ripened grain,
Fresh made bread from gentle rain.

"Hear me in the running brook
The trout that splashes as you look.
The laughs of children as they play
Be in your mind at break of day.

"See me in the peace of running wave.
See me in the silence of the hidden cave,
The quiet earth that sustains all growth,
Lamb's plaintive cry at mother's sloth.

"With the gathering of birds in the morning light,
I am the uplifting wind of the circled flight.
So do not stand at my grave and cry
When you know in your heart I did not die.

"Come in the silence of the night.
Come in the memory of dreams and fears.
Come in tears with eyes so bright.
Come in the love of cherished years.

"I will greet you in the old familiar ways.
Talk to you of those well-remembered days.
Tell you of the new things I have found.
Listen to you talk to me in all life's sound."

She had heard him call so loud and clear,
Embraced the night in starlight sheer,
Felt moonbeam-kiss dispel the fear,
Wore mingled Love-thoughts, oh, so dear.

Embrace the Starlight's wondrous gems,
Rings of moondust Beauty lends,
Fairy garlands love does send
And broken heart in kisses mend.

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "

I liked this, but in the first couple of stanzas, some of the lines seemed cut short for the sake of a rhyme...Idk..well done in any case.

This is lovely raiders...true love never dies, but continues beyond the grave.
I wrote someting similar when my husband died: "As long as my mind can see you, you are still here with me".
