I am with you still - I do not sleep.

of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starts that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn.

Release each fear - your fears about your health,
your family, your job, and every other fear.

pound pillows, scream, curse.
Then take a deep breath, and get over it.
