Oh how I wish to be lost to the shore
But to throw myself in, I won’t to be sure
For I am sure that my dive
Won’t help anyone thrive
Although I wish to be lost to the shore

I wish my life to be a camp fire
It’s an unreasonable desire
I want to give help to those who plead
But only as they shall need
Then be extinguished, like a camp fire

I wish to be consumed by the earth
To give sustenance to the mighty hearth
I won’t be remembered by what lives
And the peace that it gives
I wish to be consumed by the earth

I wish to leave like the wind
A simple breeze passing through the trees
Lost, forgotten, smooth, quick
No one cries for the wind
No one worries where the wind went
Weather the wind brings chaos or tranquility
No one remembers the wind
