Do not stand by the grave with a tear-streaked face, I am here - I am not asleep. I am in the wind that blows across the sea, I am the sparkle in the white snow. I am the sun on ripening grain, I am in the autumn's golden harvest. When you wake in the morning light, I will always be around you. I am in the circling of the birds in the sky, I am the star that brightens the night. Do not stand by the grave in desperate need, I am here - I am not dead!
- Irish Graveside Poem

No one knows, who hasn't been through it, how it feels when someone spreads their wings and quietly, quietly, sets off on the journey - the final one. No one knows, who hasn't experienced it, how it feels, when someone is no longer there. When the place of the one, you wished was still near, is empty.
Silent and still
You go on your final journey
Embraced by the waves of the sea
You will now be without haste and worry
Carried by day to the most beautiful beaches of the world
Resting at night under your beloved sky.
- Solveig Tietje
