Another body
And yet not wholly
Somebody I want to be

With or near
And well I know
How quickly it will disappear

For there is no faith
In the form
Its being no more
Than wind as rustles
The autumn reeds

Who when played upon
Simply sigh alone
For someone no longer here

I find the sound the wind makes as it blows through the reeds can be both lonely and warmly embracing.
Enjoyed thinking about this imagery, John.
