I am with you still - I do not sleep.

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 sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starts that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn.

ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.

with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
