Passing

The air that I breath the sky the tides and sea
Unblinking, tearless eyes staring cold as silence
I inhale deeply allowing life to wash over me

Alone with my thoughts, dreams and despair
Wistful recollections, of expectations deceased
Silently I mourn, the passing of my being

Soon to be forgotten, my memory fading
Autumn leaves falling, summers sun no more
At worlds end, sunset calling, my time is now

My soul but a breath on the winter’s breeze

Lingering as it caresses the leafless grey trees
