Into the Wind It has been said that a journey begins With but a single step And so today is a new beginning And yet today is fleeting And yesterday is gone Now is being blown away Eroded into the wind Time rushes past Headlong into Eternity Its passing hardly known What is begun is soon ended Engaged in pursuits of living Planting roots, digging deeper To plant again Into this fragile soil Day into night Night into day Children come as old folks go The earth spins faster and faster A day, a nod A year, a wink All said and done Before a blink of eye And now here I stand On the brink of Eternity The same old dogged question Never answered: --After this, what will I find? Who will remember That I have come and gone? Will I? Poetry
