My passing will be as a gentle whisper Whose words are never heard, Yet combined with many others Becoming a breeze moving ever on, Passing by those left behind unnoticed Thereby able to touch, and be felt again Joining with other whispers into breezes likewise Becoming a wind gaining strength For in the summer, bringing a small respite And a temporary consolation To those who endure the heat And in winter, a freshness in the cool sweetness Invigorating, injecting all with a desire for life Every time I am on the verge of being forgotten I will blow in from the horizon Bringing a different memory every time I pass through the body of those that remember There are no limits to the places I can go Nor the people I can touch In this way I will be eternal, And my passing will not have been in vain |

I am taken by the images of ones passing and becoming like the winds... man i really love this poem... stalking you in awe, your jm and you can say baby... baby can I hold you tonight maybe if told you the right words... at the right time, you'd be mine... baby can I hold you tonight... tracy chapman |

This poem has wind swept beauty of words flowing like the gently breezes on a calm summer day. I love it if you couldn't tell. |

Incredibly beautiful work. *Krista Knutson* ~*Only when trudging through the soul's darkest midnight can one truly appreciate the glory of the sunrise*~ |

I can only hope that my memory is remembered as beautifully as this poem. |
