Nothing Left

My words are lost on the wind My steps erased by the sea Thoughts evaporate in the mist There is nothing left of me.... Perhaps you'll hear me in an echo Or catch me in moonbeams that you see But it will be a fleeting thing For there is nothing left of me....

Meet me in Key West 30 and join me on a three-day charter fishing boat cruise. We'll snorkel over coral reefs in the Dry Tortugas. Seriously! You're invited! Love my LNC, Carolyn

There are times when we feel our imprints on this Earth have been meaningless. Such a thought-provoking poem, Barbara. It really reaches down into the reader's soul. Love, Carolyn
