Before I Go

A traveler in this journey of life I pass though so many lives So many lives pass through me some a flicker in time some linger a lifetime and in every life, every sparkling eye, every laughing face, is a trace of that life embedded in my soul I walk this journey alone except for the live that have touched mine, who left their fingerprints on my heart. They are the only reason I continue on for their words and kindness have given meaning to a weary traveler I wish to leave nothing but good feelings in my wake and hopefully my journey will be a successful one and perhaps, before I go, I can leave behind a few words of comfort, or passion, or solitude, or joy to someone after me.

Think you'll be leaving more than a few. Your words are glorious and reveal your beauty and reach deep inside the reader and grab and spark theirs. You are such an inspiring poetess. Simply wonderful to read. Love, Shar
