An Alternative Poem of “Thousand Winds”
For: Environmental Scholars gone with
Winds like beautiful autumn leaves
By: Lawrence K. Wang and Mu-Hao Sung
Wang
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am in a thousand winds that blow
I am the fresh air up there
I am the fertile soil on land
I am the swimming fish in water
When you find me in the autumn’s hush
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful leaves in circling current
I am the scholar with passion
I am in the homes with love
I am on the Internet
I am the leaves that fly
I am in each lovely thing
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I do not die
Note: Original “Thousand Winds” author
was Mary Elizabeth Frve.
