Free Verse
A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes
-- And When I Die --
— And When I Die —
Don’t look for me in a grave
I will not be there
You will see me
in blue moonlight rays
and the bright sun
Don’t cry for me when I'm gone
I’ll be in the summer breeze
caressing your face
Look for me in dewdrops
over a blue rose's petals
and listen to my voice
in children's laughter
You will see me
in my darling children
and grandchildren's eyes
Don’t cry for me when I’m gone
I will remain close by
and the love I feel for you
will fill your heart
My ashes will ride high tide
and some will blow in the wind
the breeze will touch your face
Don’t cry for me when I am gone
I will never be afar

FREE VERSE is an open form of poetry, which in its modern form arose through the French vers libre form. It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.
Thank you very much for reading my poem.
