Not in Death

Please don't think of my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the sweet smell of afternoon hay,
I am the cool crisp ocean spray.
I am the dust of a comet's tail,
I am the dirt of the nature trail.
When you look out by the morning lake,
I am the flower you will take.
I am the gentle light of the moon,
I am the quiet call of the loon.
It was not a thing of fate I chose,
yet here I am, the beautiful rose.
So please don't think of my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

I agree with Rook219. It's very nice, there's no doubt about that. And, what makes it beautiful is the heart and soul you put into it when talking about your grandmother; it brought tears to my eyes. Keep writing. You'd do great as a poet; it's all natural for you, it seems. I'm sure she's watching over you, smiling at the beauty you've writen for her ^^ 5/5 stars for the nice poet~

Writing on the death of someone close is always painful... I should now -_- But the feeling you put into it is enough for anyone... Well, if ya believe in afterlife or guardians angels or what-not, I'm sure she's smiling.
