At times I think: those whom overcome with sadness Overbear'd by an unshakable heaviness Haunted by one shadowing and relentless thought To end their body, mind and existence here on earth, Actually live on in spirit, drifting within the winds Caressing those who mourned their untimely passing.
I wonder if after the deed was done and spirit left Was the immense sorrow of loved ones lingering, Resounding around their spirit like a ring around a planet. Circularly rotating, the bitter taste of a mothers tears Currents of mourning waves from the memorial, Compelled by remourse to return and comfort those left behind.
A breeze to such a spirit; a haze of misty darkness Drifting through doubts and what could have been What was lost and never to be again, To linger and flow until all have passed on. I sense it sometimes in my internal quietness A companion gone in teenage years whispering, Through a hush; I miss you my friend.
I feel that someday the same fate awaits me How close I have come to drifting in that windy haze To again be near my lost friend, away from this pain Yet I foresee the misery anguishing in the hearts; Of those whom bonds I have forged And I realize for now, the winds are free from me.
