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 sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's rush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

 

hopi prayer
