time and remembrance

i am the wind
that murmurs in your hair,

i am the sun
upon the path you tread,

i am the scent
that lingers in the air,

i am the dark
that shadows what you dread,

i am the cloud
that wafts across your skies,

i am the moon
that glows before your eyes,

i am the rain
that mingles with your tears,

i am the times
that turn into the years.
