Earlier, someone asked me who my favorite poet is. I cannot answer because I don't have a "favorite poet," but I do have a handful of favorite poems. I thought I'd share one here:
-----
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
by Mary Elizabeth Frye
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 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.

Hello, I don't know if you still open this but anyway this is where I discovered you. Today, I downloaded wp again 'coz I'm not seeing your works on my nf. Just wanna say that you're really good at what you do. Keep it going!
Hi, I REALLY love your poetry, just wanted to tell you to keep it up and that you're doing good, because every poet needs to know that their work is being enjoyed. I know you've probably heard this before, but oh well, now you've heard it again.
@mynamesannfaith Hey, you're awesome! And no, I don't really hear that as much as you think I do. haha. So, thank you, it means a lot to me and I really appreciate your telling me this. Cheers~! ^_^
