THE SILENT WIND

She is like the wind that has no sound
that leaves no trace or path of where it has been

she is like a shadow left by the sun behind her
that is no more and has disappeared
leaving only darkness in it's wake

she is like the burning embers from a fire
that once burned bright but now only
darkness remains in the silent wind 
and nothing remains

she is like the leaves that tremble  as
they fall, bereft of tears as they are carried
by the wind with no sound into an endless
 void where the silence is complete
