I refuse to let go of my grief

[UltraBudgie]

I'm still with you

I'm still with you
On the continental divide facing east
The wind at my back on the cliff edge
Carrying for miles over pine trees
On the shores of Lake Michigan
With seven little beaches
And sand that won't rinse off
And by a ballpark in California
Where you can watch the game
In the scrub of northern Nevada
Keeping vigil with distant red cliffs
At a lake nameless to memory
With a sunken city below and
A concrete bunker on the shore
And nine thousand feet up
In the high New Mexico desert
Its the enchanted circle they say
I'm still with you
In the Great Sequoias so sad
Standing in the seaweed of Cape Cod
And by a river forest deep miles
In the Green Mountains of Vermont
And numb to the knee in the cruel
Ocean of the Pacific Northwest
I'm still with you
In all the places I've stood
Fixed on the beauty of the moment
As the wind takes your ashes
I'm still without you
And I'm still with you
