Exceptional Free Verse One Thousand Cranes : -- And When I Die -- by Gypsy Blue Rose

— 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    Recognized Author Notes 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. Gypsy
