i have left you

Your childish devices of a long ago yesterday
Have gone too

i have faded a thousand times
Along with the light that died in your veins
i am the wind
Something you cannot keep

i Am
The warm sand upon the darkened beach
A shadow
A stain
Of what once was
And will be again

i Am
The whisper in the glade
The sigh
That rises as waters flow

Flighty laughter
The quickened pace of the most passionate heart
The sudden heat of desire stoked

Never forever behind
Nor too long ahead

i Am.
