Indian Poetry
In memory of Woody Dyer, a great free spirit from Bella Vista Lodge, Escaleras-Dominicalito. He did wonders for his community, A role model! He will always be there … always!
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to do and see.
Do not cry thinking of me.
Be grateful for the good years,
I gave you my friendship.
You can only guess the happiness that you brought me.
Thank you for all the love you’ve shown me, now it’s time to travel alone.
For a short time, you can have troubles.
Confidence will bring you comfort and relief.
We will be separated for some time.
Let the memories ease your pain.
I’m not far away, and life goes on…
If you need me… Call me!
And I will be there.
Even if you cannot see me or touch me, I’ll be there.
And if you listen to your heart, you will experience clearly.
Sweetness and love I bring.
And when it is time for you to go, I’ll be there to welcome you,
Away from my body with this Great Spirit… God.
Do not go to my grave and cry.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the glitter snow crystals.
I am the light that passes through the cornfields.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
I am the awakening of birds in the morning calm.
I am the star who shines at night.
Do not go to my grave and cry,
I’m not here; I’m not dead.
