The Four Winds

How quickly, the eyes sadden
how forgetful; the heart can be
maybe, when I am stronger
the strength will show in me,

I live to see the sunrise
I open my soul to you
one breath of yours is enough
to see my whole life through,

No one saw this happening,
there eyes were closed to the fate
why is it that so many people
Can only see the hate,

The ruins are all around us
the essence of what life once was
the pieces are scattered to the four winds
and our courage has turned to dust,

Annie

I really like this.  I also noticed this was written a while back...is there a story behind it?

Thank you, yes it was inspired by the death of my son in law at the age of 29, on the 8th of December 2005,
