Gone with the wind, blown away from the sight of mortals.
She was taken away by the cold hands of death
She wasn't even allowed to bid the world her farewell
She was taken unprepared while leaving her loved ones with too many questions
Questions they are unable to answer as fears flow down their faces
Faces that once glowed with beauty and radiance but now, the glow is gone
Gone with the wind as she bid the world a last glance
Glance with no words as she was helpless to speak her words
Words of consolation to her loved ones to let them know she would be watching
Watching them from afar even without a touch or hold
Holding on to hope is the last on their minds as she was the hope snatched
Snatched by the cold hands of death leaving everyone confused
Confused as to why someone so full of life and warmth can leave without a warning
Warning to her loved ones so they can at least have a final dinner or dance
Dance that she has been used to but now, they only remember her with, in their heads
Heads filled with a lot of confusing thoughts as to what could have been
She left the face of the earth but she never left everyone's heart
Is this how someone leaves and the vacuum is left unfilled?
Is this how life plays a fast one and ruins the joy that once existed?
Is this how memories sip from people's veins and their minds echo with screams words can't bring forth?
Is this how someone dies, gone with the wind like an ode unsung?
There are so many things to say, so many questions to ask but the answers are not forthcoming
To a better place, everyone said but what about the living, left in a worst place and state?
The questions remain the same; lots of questions
But the answers remain unchanged; still unknown
As she looks back on her loved ones with words unsaid and feelings unseen
At least by the human eyes as she went with the wind
Her bed deserted, her lips unkissed and reduced to only a memory
Cheers.
