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 envy your gentle touch PK---My passing? More likely to be as subtle as a Dio concert--I have all the tact of a sledgehammer... and now I also collect another treasure from your gifted pen! |

"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" I don't think you could ever be forgotten..... fantastic write |

All can wish for a gentle passing whether that be the breeze that wispers or the wing of a butterfly, as a poet, I am sure of its capture within your words. "I am not now that which I have been." |
