Passing Winds

Me and you
We were a small
Light
That only was
For a small
Time
Just like stars
At night
Or drops
Of rain

We weren't to stay
We weren't for life
Or anything of the sorts
We were
Like the waves
Of the ocean
Like the hands
Of the clocks
We were like,
Tides
Like winds.

Just a passing
But we were good,
Like rays
Of the sun
So much light
From both of us
So much goodness
So many smiles
Memories
A good passing
Good air.
