A Breath On The Wind

Rating: 5.0


A Breath On The Wind
For Manny

I saw you crying,
standing alone in the cold sleet and snow,
because I was no more.
It was so cold, your tears, they froze before they
hit the ground.
I could feel your loneliness.
You knew I would never again come around,
never to hear the sound
of a gentle word,
never to share a smile.
And I wondered
if you would ever smile again.
In a breath on the wind
does a life begin and end.
Hold on to the memory
that made me special in your heart.
Let not the door to emptiness
be opened, too long, to your life.
To have been a part of your life
gave my life great joy.
