When You Are Gone

When you are gone I will live on

I will live on

When you are gone

I will not mourn or forget

How love was born

Much stronger still

Though you are gone

You still live on

In birds in clouds

In simple flowers

In bones and flesh

That carry you

Each day, each hour

And this is your power

Though you are gone

Much stronger now

You still live on

In words that echo in the air

In scent of showers

Fallen leaves

In all of these

And feeling sense

You presence, felt in present tense

I will not mourn

Nor wil I grieve

For you live on

Inside of me
