Description
...I am not there; I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
It's hangover Sunday, meaning marathon on TV, and today was Desperate Housewives. I am not a fan, but there was a VERY emotional scene, where "Do not stand at my grave and weep" was quoted and thus came this image to mind. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0qMuu…
I'm just trying to prepare myself for whatever horrors that might be bestowed upon us by George R. R. Martin.
Brienne and Jaime (c) George R. R. Martin
Poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Yeah ever since Jaimie said he would rather die in the arms of the woman he loves...I get a bad feeling that is some serious foreshadowing.

I would be... well, not satisfied, but I'd be happy knowing that that woman could possibly be Brienne.

Hey, I have seen that quote! Do you know that this poem was used in Jem's song 'you will make it'? I cry every time I hear it ;____;
Beautiful fanart by the way ^^

I did not, but probably because I don't know what Jem is.

Just checked and that movie is based on the 90's cartoon here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jem_(TV_… ;
Don't think the song is related at all though.

the same text you put in the description is, like... whispered at the end and its hard to hear but it is here. it's ok if you don't think it's related, it just reminded me this.

OH, it might be. I honestly don't know about it, but it may be that she borrowed the lyrics from the poem.
Either way, it doesn't matter; it reminds you of something nice, and that's the most important part

Dear god, if he kills them ....

I would simply die... or at least lie in foetal-position and cry for a long while...

I do not want to imagine those horrors. I will go crazy if he will kill either of them

I'm so incredibly afraid that he will.
Only the future will tell

Wow...very emotional drawing, I love it. And the poem is so touching, every time leaves a lump in my throat

Yeah, we never know... I do have faith that their story-lines are far from over, but I am SO scared for picking up book 6, whenever it comes out.
I really hope I'm less invested in the story, so my heartbreak will be less devastating in case anything horrid happens, but I highly doubt it.

If anything does happen to these two, I'm pretty sure it won't be presented nearly this emotionally: it will just be brutal and graphic and scarring, just like the rest of Martin's death scenes.

I've never heard it before, but now that I've found it, I can't think of any other piece of writing that gets to me like that! I mean... WOW! So strong!

Right?? Just gorgeous. I have it saved on my computer when I need to write angst. It's so powerful and very fitting for your picture. ^^

It SO does work SO well for angst! It has that perfect bittersweet feel to it, that just keeps breaking your heart over and over and over and over and over and...
