I found a poem that I've found comforting since Beauty left this world, found it on the internet.

Here's the poem:

"Do not stand at my grave and weep"

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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
Mary Frye (1932)

Such a hopeful poem, I always believe that life is like a circle...
Life is a circle

Life is a circle of endless energy,
it has neither beginning nor an end.

It recycles itself round the clock, from hours to days, months to years,
time is countless when going around, and the circle of life surrounds what we know,
being death and all.

Loved the poem, completely relate to the words...
