While Waiting For Thee

by Sharon A. Bryington

Don't weep at my grave

For I am not there,

I've a date with a butterfly

To dance on the air.

If I'm missed, find a flower,

I'll be there too,

Sniffing it's fragrance

Right next to you.

Don't be sad

When you remember me,

For I'm singing in the sunshine,

Wild and free,

Flirting with the lighting,

Playing tag with the wind,

Chasing the thunder

Time and again,

Soaring with the eagle,

Swimming in the sea,

Enjoying all of nature

While I'm waiting for thee.

Asleep

by Emily Dickinson

Asleep.

As far from pity as complaint,

As cool to speech as stone,

As numb to revelation

As if my trade were bone.

As far from time as history,

As near yourself to-day

As children to the rainbow's scarf,

Or sunset's yellow play

To eyelids in the sepulchre.

How still the dancer lies,

While color's revelations break,

And blaze the butterflies!

No Coward Soul Is Mine

by Emily Bronte

No coward soul is mine,

No trembler in the worlds storm-troubled sphere:

I see Heavens glories shine,

And faith shines equal, arming me from fear.

O God within my breast.

Almighty, ever-present Deity!

Life -- that in me has rest,

As I -- Undying Life -- have power in Thee!

Vain are the thousand creeds

That move mens hearts: unutterably vain;

Worthless as withered weeds,

Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,

To waken doubt in one

Holding so fast by Thine infinity;

So surely anchored on

The steadfast Rock of immortality.

With wide-embracing love

Thy Spirit animates eternal years,

Pervades and broods above,

Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears.

Though earth and man were gone,

And suns and universes ceased to be,

And Thou wert left alone,

Every existence would exist in Thee.

There is not room for Death,

Nor atom that his might could render void:

Thou -- Thou art Being and Breath,

And what Thou art may never be destroyed.

Joy In Death

by Emily Dickinson

If tolling bell I ask the cause.

'A soul has gone to God,'

I'm answered in a lonesome tone;

Is heaven then so sad?

That bells should joyful ring to tell

A soul had gone to heaven,

Would seem to me the proper way

A good news should be given.
