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...
what do we own, nothing really...
ReplyDeletewhere 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....
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.

ReplyDeleteWe 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.
