The Winds of Time

The summer breeze fills a mind full of peace, 
but intricate thoughts dare not ever cease. 

Constant throughout - without an end. 
Repeat it start over and begin it again. 

A whispering wind on a silent night,
feeds us a story - the cold has a bite. 

The wind is a sign of the past and the present, 
but future to come has left us a crescent. 

The moon holds a key to what comes to be, 
like tides on a beach rush in from the sea. 

Pay attention to what comes and goes,
like birds in the sky from eagles to crows.  

They all play a part in this short span of time,
So watch as they soar then swoop on a dime. 

We all become nothing except what we leave,
Behind us a past like bark on a tree. 

- Yours Truly
