fly fast, east- 
buddha ranting. 
wind 
just blows 
away 
hopes and dreams 
one had. 
had it. 

had it all. 

had all 
then lost it, 
in grip, 
then let slip 
away. 
wind 
blows it all, 
away. 
had to- 
past obligation. 

love less, 
live more, 
loveless, 
lifeless, 
immobile. 

in a second, everything will be memories, 
fading slowly. 
in a year- 
unconscious, hidden 
away. 
wind blows 
everything 
away. time 
had. 
had it all 
then lost. 

on an island, 
ghosts scream 
to loves 
abandoned 
in the crowd 
now gone 
away 
forever.
