Gone With The Wind

By: Juki

A legacy? I dare not leave.

Through parched lips, I often speak,

of one to bare a child.

What selfish man would want to give

this curse of jealousy?

A life reduced to this.

I fear? I do, as years escape as fleets.

Traversing streams of time would meet,

this gap within my palm.

My weakness is hereditary

and brings me to my knees.

A shallow life within a blight draws to eternity.

In the end, no remains, why must I learn to love?

As if the one I worship

can ascend me to above?

All I have is here and now,

embrace it until I fall.

You can see, I dare not vow,

I dare not ask for more.

Tomorrow is the day I die

also the day I was born.

I come and go as would the wind,

a blink and I am gone.

Like one cannot hold onto wind,

then one should try let go.

For fate has determined for me,

my ultimate destiny...

I hope that you won't have to see

that the wind is really me.
