What is mine


What is mine, when everything I own
is in my possession for but a fleeting moment;

where do I belong, when everyone I meet
is but a transient stranger in an all-night diner called ‘life’;

and what do I leave behind but my footsteps,
eroded all too soon by the cold north wind that blows
on a lost and forgotten strand...

  1. what do we own, nothing really...
    where do we belong, well that one is a bit harder....oy, so true on us being transient strangers...even still hopefully we find a few along the way.....
    and we may never know who we touch....

  2. I will gladly leave no trace of my having passed this way,let the memory of me fade as the wind turns to a breeze and the breeze to stillness.

  4. Even with all we seem to have and all of the people in our lives, we are alone with our personal interpretation of life.

  9. We generally go out of this life with some thing that is ours. That will leave a mark of where we have been. We have no children so perhaps we will leave a mark with others in their memory.
