I am gone 
I am no more 
than a wisp in a blue-green mist 
just a whisper 
in the woods 
on a brief flight 
in an endless space 
I will return soon I think  
but perhaps someday 
while I am gone 
I'll find it is time 
to stay 
to not return 
to float forever on the wind 
grow with the trees 
push up with the flowers 
sing with the birds 
endlessly 
evermore 
Perhaps 
some day 
you might stop 
when the wind in the trees turns your head 
or the dance of a leaf catches your eye 
and you find you must go 
into the blue-green mist 
you will hear my voice among the leaves 
feel the beat of your heart join mine 
we will float together through the trees on a winter wind 
until you have gone 
and are renewed

Finding time 
flowing past 
moments forever gone 
a feeling of stillness and calm 
unfolding 
moment by moment 
a spell woven among the leaves 
to the music of water and wind 
washing away thoughts 
of time 
slowly passing
