   This ever-roiling world

like love’s final fading
    afterthought,
what traces shall remain
of wind and moonlight
(or all our finest dreams)
in this ever-roiling world.

Bruce...a reflection to think on here. Are not life and death a part of the same circle, and therefore continue to be, even though changed?

this poem threw me. I like the minimalist approach, and respect your courage in that endeavour. But...i'm pretty sure the moon and the wind are going to exist for as long as the world does.

one 'point' of this write was about things (like moonLIGHT) that leave no 'traces' at all
(or things that ultimately leave no permanent ones) ... it made no statement about the
moon or wind themselves 'disappearing'
