Written On the Wind

When life leaves me feeling all alone
and abandoned to my thoughts;
I listen to the leaves rustling in the trees
chatting with each passing breeze,
discussing what's written on the wind.
Inscribed with invisible yet vivid inks
of hopes, dreams, and loves won and lost;
silent secrets and frustrations aired.
These subliminal notes remind my heart and soul
that I'm alive, aware, and conscious
of my surroundings, the author of my destiny.
Nothing is preordained; in reality,
Life starts as a blank page in an empty book,
awaiting free will to fill in the lines,
drafted from the plethora of notes
time's pinned to the wind.
And when my life ends,
Death will erase all but the wind.

L Milton Hankins Date: 10/27/2022 2:39:00 PM Hmmm...well, that's one way to look at it, Emile, but I believe that death cannot erase any of us until what we left behind is no longer remembered by anyone.
